An emic critique of Austine Waddell's 'Buddhism and lamaism of Tibet - A gross misrepresentation of the Vajrayana of Tibet'

  • Rana, S.
  • Summary
In this review, the author would like to make the general Nepalese scholars aware that Buddhism and Lamaism of Tibet by Austine Waddell cannot and should not be taken as an authoritative book of "Tibetan Buddhism" (as it it is well known as) but which the author calls Vajrayana of Tibet. There are literally thousands of mistakes, wrong information, misinterpretations and perhaps even deliberate distortions in this book.
