Buddhist Tantra: Methodology and Historiography (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781795681247)

This book analyses our conventional ways of looking at Buddhism in general and Buddhist tantra in particular. It investigates how the frameworks and structures that were developed for European studies and Biblical studies have been deployed to interpret various facets of Buddhism. Many such models that still dominate the historical imagination of Buddhist studies have been examined in this book. This book also proposes an alternative approach towards Buddhist studies and advocates incorporating the critical research of tantra texts from the perspective of traditional accounts.
