About The Book
This book The Guardian Deities of Tibet is the first of its kind and is designed specifically for general lay readership. Its purpose is to introduce to the readers the world of Tibet s rich tradition of Guardian Deities or Dharma Protectors. However it does not as indeed it obviously cannot give an exhaustive list and histories of all the Dharma Protectors of Tibet. Such a book could almost never be written. This book deals only with the principal universally known Dharma Protectors.
This book is a simplified version of its Tibetan original. In order to ensure smooth reading the foot-notes appendices and the difficult esoteric verse-forms extracted from the original sources have been omitted without affecting the tone and flow of the presentation. But because of difficulties in rendering in English the exact pronunciations of Tibetan names Tibetan transliterations inevitably had to be appended in bracket.
Unless one is desirous to know the exact Tibetan names the brackets can conveniently be ignored. However a few of the brackets contain useful clarifications of terms.
