Shambhala Dragon Editions11/01/2001Pages: 112Size: 6 x 9ISBN: 9781570628962DetailsWesterners wanting to know about tantra—particularly the Buddhist tantra of Tibet—often find only speculation and fancy. Tibet has been shrouded in mystery, and "tantra" has been called upon to name every kind of esoteric fantasy. In The Dawn of Tantra the reader meets a Tibetan meditation master and a Western scholar, each of whose grasp of Buddhist tantra is real and unquestionable. This collaboration is both true to the intent of the ancient Tibetan teachings and relevant to contemporary Western life.RelatedCheck items to add to the cart orAuthor BioHerbert V.
