Taranatha's History of Buddhism in India

by Alaka Chattopadhaya/Debiprasad Chattopadhyaya and Debiprasad Chattopadhyaya (Ed.)

Writers on the political history of India find themselves obliged to take note of Taranatha's History, no less than those writing the history of Indian literature and Indian logic, not to speak of the investigators of the history of Buddhism itself.

This English Translation of Taranatha's History of Buddhism in India belongs, indeed to the class of finest translations of Tibetan works in English. The age-old tradition of Tibetan translation of treaties with one Pandit of the source language and a third person for checking and editing has been faithfully preserved in the preparation of this work.
