Sacred Ground: Jamgon Kongtrul on Pilgrimage and Sacred Geography by Ngawang Zangpo
Sacred Ground: Jamgon Kongtrul on “Pilgrimage and Sacred Geography”—by Ngawang Zangpo


 

"Sacred Ground is a revelation! Here for the first time in any Western language are several key ideas: the exact way outer sacred lands related to points in the tantric body and the parallel terminology between types of sacred ground and the stages of attainment. Ngawang is precise and to the point."--Hubert Decleer, Director of the Tibetan Studies Program of the School for International Training, author of Lightning Terror

"In his continuing investigation of the mind and world of one of the most significant figures in the development of Tibetan Buddhism, Ngawang Zangpo has again given us a well-researched and richly informative setting to another jewel from Jamgon Kongtrul's writings. Anyone who is a pilgrim, in any sense of the term, will find this book fascinating."--Richard Barron (Chökyi Nyima), translator of Buddhahood without Meditation, The Way of Abiding, and the forthcoming The Precious Treasury of the Basic Space of Phenomena and the autobiography of Jamgon Kongtrul.
