Kun-mkhyen Pad-ma dKar-po's Amitayus Tradition of Vajrayana Buddhist Transformative Care

Zusatztext

The book opens fresh ground in Buddhist studies and practical theology by applying phenomenological research methods to empirically discern transformative aspects of contemplative experience using reports elicited directly from contemporary practitioners. The work portrays the experiences of performing Kun-mkyen Pad-ma dKar-po's 16th c. ritual in a practice tradition attributed to the 12th c. female Indian teacher Siddharajñi. Preliminary spiritual care and contemplative factor models are presented along with a detailed theoretical process analysis of positive spiritual development as a method of spiritual care through the contemplative action of the liturgy.
