Lama Choedak will explore The History of Buddhism in India and Tibet - a rich encyclopedia on Buddhism by the famous Buton Rinchen Drub (1290-1364).

This classic is a comprehensive, foundational text covering all aspects of the history of the early Buddhist schools and identifies the important texts on Buddhism.

The History of Buddhism in India and Tibet was translated by the famous Russian scholar, Eugene Obermiller, in the 1930s, and his translation is highly regarded. This work is a crucial, authoritative source for studying the historical development of Indian and Tibetan Buddhism.

Lama Choedak Rinpoche will read and explain the contents of the book systematically so that all your knowledge about Buddhism will be elucidated.
