Review: "In this work - a companion to the highly popular Tibetan Book of the Dead - Evans-Wentz presents seven authentic Tibetan yoga texts that first appeared in English in 1935." "Amid photographs and reproductions of yoga paintings and manuscripts, readers will encounter some of the principal meditations used by Hindu and Tibetan gurus and philosophers throughout the ages in the attainment of Right Knowledge and Enlightenment. Special commentaries precede each translated text, and a comprehensive introduction contrasts the tenets of Buddhism with European notions of religion, philosophy, and science." "These seven distinct but intimately related texts will grant any reader a full and complete view of the spiritual teachings that still inform the culture of the East."--Jacket.
