On Supreme Bliss: A study of the History and Interpretation of the Cakrasamvara Tantra

David Gray's doctoral dissertation Columbia University 2001

This 767 page dissertation explores the gradual historical development of an important Indian Buddhist scripture, the Cakrasamvara Tantra, and the tradition of exegesis and practice based upon it.  It consists of an edition of the Sanskrit and Tibetan texts as well as an English translation of the first four chapters of the Cakrasamvara Tantra. Additionally, there is a translation of the corresponding portion of Tsongkhapa's Total Illumination of the Hidden Meaning (bde mchog bsdus pa'i rgyud kyi rgya cher bshad pa sbas pa'i don kun gsal ba), a Tibetan commentary on this scripture.
