Anne Carolyn Klein is Professor of Religious Studies at Rice
University and founding co-director of Dawn Mountain, a Tibetan
Temple, community center and research institute. She is the author
of several books, including Meeting the Great Bliss Queen:
Buddhists, Feminists and the Art of the Self (1994). Geshe Tenzin
Wangyal Rinpoche is President of the Ligmincha Institute, which he
founded in 1992 to preserve Tibetan Bon
culture and teachings. His most recent book is Healing with Form,

"Unbounded Wholeness offers an original and compelling study of the
Dzogchen contemplative traditions of Bon, the indigenous Tibetan
religion. In this well-researched and beautifully written book,
Anne Carolyn Klein and Geshe Tenzin Wangyal Rinpoche chart new
terrain, revealing in Bon a dynamic way of spiritual
self-cultivation and thought. This is an outstanding contribution
to our knowledge of Asian religions and philosophies." --Matthew
Kapstein,
author of The Tibetan Assimilation of Buddhism: Conversion,
Contestation and Memory
"This volume is a major contribution to our understanding of the
Tibetan philosophical and religious tradition. The study opens this
difficult literature to the Western reader and the translation is
lucid and accessible. This is a fine example of the fruits of close
collaboration between an eminent Tibetan scholar and an eminent
Western Tibetologist." --Jay L. Garfield, co-translator of Ocean of
Reasoning: A Great Commentary on Nagarjuna's
Mulamadhyamakakarika
