Lucid and economical, this introductory text delivers a brisk,
fast-moving survey of Tibetan Buddhism. For many years Powers's nearly
600-page Introduction to Tibetan Buddhism has served as the field's
most authoritative and comprehensive overview of Tibet's distinctive
Buddhist tradition. A Concise Introduction to Tibetan Buddhism
explains the core Buddhist doctrines and the practices of meditation and
tantra and provides a survey of the four main schools of Tibetan
Buddhism.
