Among the most remarkable of these revelatory traditions is the terma tradition of Tibetan Buddhism. Termas herald a fresh opportunity for the renewal of spiritual practice. Here Tulku Thondup tells the story of the terma treasure tradition initiated by Padmasambhava, the ninth-century saint who established Buddhism in Tibet. Review: Treasure book - C'est tres nifty. There may be something hidden in a rock near you. Don't bother looking for it unless you're a Dakini. Or married to one. Review: An Invaluable Work - The Hidden Teachings of Tibet serves as the core reference work for anyone interested in the terma, or hidden treasure, tradition of Tibet. Tulku Thondup, who has lived in the U.S. since 1980, provides a solid overview of the various types of treasures, how they are concealed and discovered, details on the so-called dakini script in which they are written, and insights into the tertons, or treasure discoverers, themselves. It is all organized in a format that makes for easy reference. Originally published in 1986, the book was issued in paperback in 1997. Tulku Thondup was also a key resource for another valuable book on the terma traditions, Apparitions of the Self by Prof. Janet Gyatso. Reviewer: Lawrence Pintak is a journalist and author who writes frequently on Buddhism and spirituality. ## Features - Used Book in Good Condition ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #924,997 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #410 in Buddhist History (Books) #758 in Tibetan Buddhism (Books) #788 in Buddhist Rituals & Practice (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.9 out of 5 stars 24 Reviews | ## Images ![Hidden Teachings of Tibet: An Explanation of the Terma Tradition of Tibetan Buddhism - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81szyoWyUzL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Treasure book *by W***E on April 17, 2012* C'est tres nifty.
