Title: An Emic Critique of Austine Waddell's Buddhism and Lamaism of Tibet – A Gross Misrepresentation of the Vajrayana of Tibet
Language of title: English
Author/Creator: Sridhar Rana
One Sentence Summary: The author writes that Buddhism and Lamaism of Tibet by Austine Waddell cannot and should not be taken as an authoritative book on "Tibetan Buddhism."

Description: The author writes that Buddhism and Lamaism of Tibet by Austine Waddell cannot and should not be taken as an authoritative book on "Tibetan Buddhism." The writer uses "Vajrayana of Tibet" instead of Tibetan Buddhism in this article. The writer reviews the book with reference to the preface and the first 75 pages only and finds literally thousands of mistakes, wrong information, misinterpretations, and perhaps even deliberate distortions in this book. The author traces the background of Waddell, which could also be seen as the reason such mistakes are in his book. (Rajeev Ranjan Singh 2006-10-20)
