Product Description
A highly practical form of mysticism, Mahayana Buddhism offers precise techniques for attaining wisdom by negating the ego and entering the bliss of divinity. This book gives the background, techniques, purpose, and underlying theory of the Tantric forms of meditation, which have often been successful for those who have failed to make progress with more familiar methods. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent introduction to Vajrayana buddhism., June 13, 1999
I'm surprised noone has reviewed this book as it has been around for years and is still, in my view, the best first book to read for a westerner interested in Tibetan Buddhism. Blofeld was a dedicated practitioner who shares his insights, his failures, and his transcendent experiences. This was not his favorite book and he was always surprised by its success. While there are many more profound books now available by recognized Tibetan spiritual leaders, none of them have written a simple manual for getting started that is as good as Blofeld sharing his experiences.

5.0 out of 5 stars completing circles, May 30, 2000
By "grandmother" (always East) - See all my reviews
I mirror the first rating. I reflect that sometimes it is first impression/best impression. In the long run it really doesn't matter. I am speaking about Blofeld's direct experience of Tibetan Buddhism...in Tibet. This was before the CHANGE. Inter-resting to think how buddhism has evolved into west.
