Despite its burgeoning influence, few people truly understand the core beliefs, traditions, and movements of Tibetan Buddhism. Robert Thurman, professor of Indo-Tibetan studies at Columbia University and the first American Tibetan Buddhist monk, has assembled the first guide to Tibetan Buddhism that introduces the distinctive Tibetan practice through its own rich literature. Winner of the Tricycle Prize for Excellence, this book includes excerpts from The Book of the Dead along with many other scriptures.

Essential Tibetan Buddhism is a part of the Essential series, beautifully packaged works edited by leading authorities, that feature the core texts of major religious traditions in definitive translations.

Robert A.F. Thurman, the Jey Tsong Khapa Professor of Indo-Tibetan Studies at Columbia University, "is a prolific translator and writer, a powerful advocate for the liberation of Tibet and the Dalai Lama's cultural liaison to America" (New York Times Magazine). His books include a new translation of The Tibetan Book of the Dead and Inside Tibetan Buddhism.

" Robert A.F. Thurman is] the most visible and charismatic exponent of Tibetan Buddhism."

- Rodger Kamenetz, New York Times Magazine

Great value for very sturdy, leak free plates
Size: 6"
Really like these plates! They had the best price per plate & come in a large quantity which is a huge plus for me. We use them to feed our cats wet food & sometimes water & the liquids have never leaked through the plates They are the perfect size for feeding, 1 plate will easily hold a can of cat food. They are very sturdy & don't slide across the floor while the cats are eating off them.

Love these!
Size: 9"
We use these quite often. I try to reduce our carbon footprint as much as possible and not only are these the best value we have found for compostable plates, they are also more sturdy than traditional paper plates. I don't think I will ever go back to non compostable plates.
