Atisa and Tibet: Life and Works of Dipamkara Srijfiana. By ALAKA CHATTO-PADHYAYA. New Delhi: Motilal Banarsidass, 1981. Reprint. 366 pp. Appendixes, Bibliography and Abbreviations, Index. Rs. 100 (cloth).
AbstractDipamkara Sr1jiiana (982-1054), better known as Atisa, was arguably the most important of the many Indian panditas to visit Tibet between the eighth and thirteenth centuries. His mission to Tibet in 1042 at the behest of the royal monk Byang-chub-'od marked the beginning of the later propagation (phyi dar) of the Buddhist doctrine in the Land of Snows. He remained in Tibet until his death thirteen years later during which time he devoted himself to teaching, writing, and translating. The strict attention to the law of karma, the strong emphasis on love and compassion, the assertion of a harmony among the Hinayana, Paramitayana, and Vajrayana, and the general dominance of the Prasahgika view, all of which characterize Tibetan Buddhism, are in large part due to his influence.
