| Notes | Pallis saw himself as a “pilgrim” of Tibetan Buddhism and in both Sikkim and Ladakh he received his religious education directly from qualified instructors within the living tradition. He dedicates his Peaks and Lamas to four teachers in particular, “the great contemplator, abbot of Lachhen, the venerable Dawa, bursar of Spituk, the venerable Konchhog Gyaltsan of P’hiyang, and the venerable Geshe Wangyal of Drepung, Lhasa who for my benefit and for the good of all creatures set in motion the Wheel of the Doctrine”. Wendell Berry has called this volume “The best book, in my limited reading, in connecting a form of Buddhism with its sustaining culture... [It is] useful to anybody interested in what a traditional culture is or might be, and how such a culture might preserve itself.” [wikipedia] |
