Systems of belief are the tracks that knowledge leaves behind. Questioning and open inquiry offer far more - Tarthang Tulku.
Throughout human history, there have been attempts to capture knowledge in the form of labels and specific belief systems. This does not do justice to knowledge, for systems of belief are the tracks that knowledge leaves behind. Questioning and deepening inquiry offer a far more immediate approach. Starting with the simple fact of our presence in the world, Sacred Dimensions of Time and Space crafts a "geometry of meaningful existence". The result is utterly unexpected and deeply liberating- a new architecture of experience. The reader can join in an inquiry that leads to personal transformation. Twenty pages of diagrams present visual metaphors for new ways of thinking about space, time, knowledge, and the arising of experience. This is the fourth volume in the Time, Space, and Knowledge series but can be read independently.
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.
