author: Donald S. Lopez Jr.
description: "Praise for Princeton's previous edition: "<i>Religions of Tibet in Practice</i> is by far the richest sourcebook of Tibetan texts available and will reward both the specialist and the patient general reader.""<b>---Roger Jackson, <i>Religious Studies Review</i></b><br /><br />"Praise for Princeton's previous edition: "[A] valuable contribution to the study of Tibetan religion and culture.""<b>---Amy Lavine, <i>Journal of Religion</i></b><br /><br />"Praise for Princeton's previous edition: "The anthology is replete with fascinating, important, material; and--remarkably for a work with so many authors--uniformly well-written. Anyone interested in gaining an overall sense of what constitutes Tibetan religious thought in all its multifarious ramifications could hardly have a more helpful introduction.""<b>---David Hicks, <i>Asian Thought and Society</i></b><br /><br />"Praise for Princeton's previous edition: "This anthology on Tibetan religions is a first of its kind. . . . [The contributors] are among the best in the growing field. . . . Significant and groundbreaking."" (<i>Choice</i>)
