Description
Alex Wayman - 1985 - Chanting the Names of Manjusri - The Manjusri Nama Samgiti (SKT-TIB-ENG) (129p).pdf Hardcover: 123 pages Publisher: Shambhala (June 12, 1985) Language: English ISBN-10: 0394545311 ISBN-13: 978-0394545318 This is the first English translation of one of the most revered and often-used tantric texts in Tibetan Buddhism--the Manjusri-namasamgiti. While consisting of only 160 verses and some mantra sentences, the work condenses an enormous tantric lore, so much that it garnered exalted mention in the Vimalaprabha--the great commentary on the Kalacakra--and is cited a number of times in the celebrated tantrist Naropa's Hevajratantra commentary. It is the complete original Sanskrit, with its Tibetan translation. The format of presenting the three translations side-by-side, along with pertinent extracts from the Tanjur commentaries on the work, creates an ideal situation for study. Alex Wayman became Professor of Sanskrit at Columbia University in 1967 and has the title professor Emeritus of Sanskrit, effective July 1991. Among his awards are the honorary D.Litt at Nalanda University, India. Sharing Widget |
