Knowledge of Time and Space by Tarthang Tulku celebrates the power of time and space to free us from limitations. At times light and dancing, at times deep and provocative, the text communicates the pleasure of unbounded inquiry. Like an ever fresh work of art, it reveals new facets of a unified vision, inviting the reader to join in a voyage of discovery. Elegant and luminous, Knowledge of Time and Space offers the chance for active participation in creation. Organized into more than a hundred short chapters that at times read like aphorisms, it offers countless starting points for inquiry, never insisting but always allowing. The presentation follows no ordinary logic; instead, the reader is swept up in an adventure that takes form only in the course of unfolding. In contrast to the more rigorous presentation of Love of Knowledge and the focused exposition found in Time, Space, and Knowledge, this work displays the flashing, penetrating presence of knowledge as it operates throughout time and space.
Tarthang Tulku Rinpoche is a teacher and author in the Nyingma lineage of Tibetan Buddhism. Born in 1935 in eastern Tibet, Rinpoche was trained by many of the greatest Tibetan Buddhist masters of the twentieth century. After leaving Tibet in 1958, Tarthang Tulku taught at Sanskrit University in Varanasi, India, and began reprinting endangered Tibetan sacred texts. In 1968, he moved to the United States, where he has lived and worked ever since. Rinpoche has founded more than 20 organizations, preserving and promoting Buddhist wisdom both in Asia and in the West. A pioneer in communicating the wisdom of his tradition to secular audiences, he is the author of over two dozen books, including Gesture of Balance; Time, Space, and Knowledge - A New Vision of Reality; Kum Nye Tibetan Yoga; Revelations of Mind, and Gesture of Great Love.
