Book synopsis

Dreams play a powerful role in the sacred biographies of Indo-Tibetan Buddhism. They foretell the births of religious figures, describe their accomplishments, and reveal esoteric teachings. In this fascinating study of the Buddhist dream experience, Dr. Serinity Young explores the complex functions of dreams in the sacred biographies of the Buddha and other central Buddhist figures, reveals the ever-changing nature of dreams in Buddhist thought and practice, and maps their role at the intersection of biography, history, and religious belief. "Dreaming in the Lotus" presents a fascinating, culturally varied picture of the Buddhist dream experience and its revelations about Buddhist ideas of consciousness, cognition, and salvation.
