Here's the direct link to it on Oxford University's website: http://solo.bodleian.ox.ac.uk/primo_lib ... h019276035

It requires you to log in with your Oxford or Bodleian cardholder info to request a download, so I've asked my friend at Oxford to get a copy for me. Will let you know how it turns out, and if I can post a direct link to it here without breaking copyright, I will.

Lots of universities allow even non-students to read their theses/dissertations in full, so I'm not sure why Oxford is being more strict...

To follow up on my earlier post, I've spoken with my friend at Oxford and according to him the dissertation is only available as a hardcopy and not online or as an electronic file. Thus I won't be able to get a copy.

Sorry ladies and gents! Looks like we'll have to settle for the review for now...

Thanks for the link. I'll have to read this tomorrow but looks interesting. I'm familiar with Kurukulle from Lama Tharchin Rinpoche and have always been interested in differences with Chagdud Tulku Rinpoche.

Seems like H H Chhimed Rigdzin Rinpoche was a popular guy. Very, very strange.

Interesting read. Not totally finished but read the chapters that stood out.

Yeah, it is a nice resource. Red Tara is one of my favorite practices, but I didn't really have any of this background.

Yeah I'll have to try to finish it this weekend. I have the FPMT Red Tara sadhana and is a Tara practice not Kurukulle. I'll have to look for that one.

Yeah interesting stuff.

Unfortunately, the link to said thesis is not available any longer. Does anyone still have access to this document? I am familiar with Kurukulla, and I'd love to hear more about Red Tara.

Does anyone know to what extent Red Tara and Kurukulla are considered the same, or to which they are not? It's really hard to find any information on this topic out there.

Thanks! (Did not really understand that I had to click on the displayed thesis front side for download. But now it works.)

This is my understanding so someone please correct me if I'm wrong. Kurukulle and Red Tara are considered different deities, with different mantras, even though Kurukulle is red, and is often (though I think not always) considered a form of Tara. Thus why people often just call Kurukulle "red Tara". But they aren't one in the same and are different practices, even if they have a lot of similarities.
