The Tantric Tradition - Hardcover
The tantric tradition plays a major role in Hinduism and Tibetan Buddhism, yet its teachings are still little understood and often distorted in the West -- particularly due to the powerful erotic and sensual symbolism of the literature and the apparently amoral tendencies of the teachings.
This classic text offers an in-depth study of the tantric tradition. The author analyzes from within the literary, liguistic, ideological, philosophical and ritualistic patterns of tantrism illustrating them with passages from the Indian and Tibetan texts. Mantra, intitiation, male-female polarity, symbolism, history of tantrism.
350 pp; cloth over hardback boards; 30 page bibliography; index.
