The volumes of the series Sanskrit Texts from the Tibetan Autonomous Region (SSTAR) which have appeared until now have made contributions to our knowledge of Indian Buddhism which are of such importance that they may be called revolutionary. The volumes which we are introducing here; however; mark an important new phase in the long-term project of incorporating the treasures preserved in Sanskrit manuscripts in Tibet into the intellectual and spriritual history of mankind. They present; critically edited and translated with annotation; the texts of a scripture; the Buddhakapalatantra; belonging to what was commonly regarded by followers of tantric Buddhism as the highest category of esoteric scriptures; the yoginitantras; and of a commentary thereon by one of the most learned and most influential of Indian Buddhist masters of the early second millenium: Abhayakaragupta.

They conducted the transatlantic slave trade even after it was banned by the Constitution after 1808. It was said by more than one Southerner at the time that the North chastised the South over "negro slavery" while the money they profited from transporting and selling captured Africans as slaves "jingled in their pockets". It's amazing it took so many years for these facts to be "discovered" by these authors.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.

Must readBy arcanaxThis book is a hard read in terms of the subject matter it is covering. But it is an easy read in terms of it being well written and having examples and supportive arguements.
