In this history, discover the first extensive biography of the Buddha composed in the Tibetan language, along with an account of subsequent Indian Buddhist history, particularly the writing of Buddhist treatises.

It concludes with an account of the demise of the monastic order followed by a look forward to the advent of the future Buddha Maitreya. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e The composer of this remarkably ecumenical Buddhist history compiled some of the most important early sources on the Tibetan imperial period preserved in his time, and his work may be the best record we have of those sources today.
