Title: Foundations of Tibetan Mysticism According on the Esoteric Teachings of the Great Mantra OM MANI PADME HUM
Description: Rider & Company, London, 1975. Fifth Impression, Softcover. Very Good Condition. This is the most valuable book yet written on the subject of Tibetan mysticism. Lama Govinda, a member of the Kargyupta Order has spent over twenty years of his life at the feet of masters in Tibetan hermitages and monasteries and his direct experience has given him a clear insight into much that has so far remained totally obscure to the outside world. In Lama Govinda's informed and masterly book Tibet, as he shows, is the last living link that connects us with the civilizations of the past and with their knowledge of the hidden forces of the human soul. The concentrated evocation and direction of these forces must always be the concern of a dedicated few, under conditions which are likely to exist in the West. But the teaching of the deeper lore of Enlightenment, of which Mantra is a special cult, is universal. And Lama Govinda's book blends the two in a revealing whole. A complete explanation of the esoteric principles of Mantra that also clarifies the differences between Hindu and Tibetan yoga. Lama Govinda explains the esoteric principles of mantra and completely discusses the meaning of OM MANI PADME HUM -- the path of universality, the path of unification, the path of creative vision, the path of integration -- ending with the path of the Great Mantra. Translated into many languages, this is an important text for any student of Buddhism. Size: 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. 311 pages. no Dust Jacket as published..
