Description
The life and works of the mysterious Indian yogin, Saraha, who has inspired Buddhist practitioners for over a thousand years.
This is the first thorough overview of the life, works, and teachings of Saraha, “the Archer,” an elusive but influential 10th-century Indian Buddhist tantric adept who expressed his spiritual realization in mystic songs. Saraha’s poetic verses made the esoteric ideas and practices of Vajrayana accessible to a wide audience on the subcontinent and served as a basis for the exposition in Tibet of mahamudra, the great-seal meditation on the nature of mind that permeates every tradition of Buddhism on the plateau.ROGER R. JACKSON is a Professor Emeritus of Asian Studies and Religion at Carleton College. He has nearly fifty years of experience studying and practicing Buddhism and has authored numerous books on Indian and Tibetan Buddhist philosophy, meditation, and ritual.US
