Compilación de budismo tibetano

3 stars

Esta compicación es extensa. Para quienes no conocen casi nada de budismo, o de budismo tibetano puede llegar a ser muy confusa. Al ser esta una compilación hecha por Matthieu, no hay un contexto introductorio sino sólo textos divididos por temas.

Desafortunadamente puede volverse algo repetitivo, tal vez por la manera en la que los Lamas están acostumbrados a transmitir sus enseñanzas.

Repito, no es un libro para quienes recién conocen el budismo.
