Synopsis

This volume, the fourth in Evans-Wentz's noted Tibetan series, contains teachings of paramount importance from illustrious gurus of Tibet and India. First published in 1954, it explains the essence of the Supreme Path, the Mahayana, and reveals the yogic method of attaining Enlightenment by means of knowing the One Mind, the cosmic All-Consciousness. C.G. Jung's commentary discusses differences in Eastern and Western modes of thought, and equates the "collective unconscious" with the Buddhist Enlightened Mind.
