Description
The author of this book, the well-known researcher and expert in Buddhist philosophy Alexandra David-Neel, spent almost fourteen years in Tibet. Remaining a true representative of the West, yielding neither to prejudice nor dogma, and never betraying her calling as a scholar and researcher, she introduced the wider public to the sacred world of the lamas and the various kinds of sorcerers surrounding them.
The book tells of the years spent among Buddhist monks and magicians. It is neither a travel diary nor an autobiography, but a study of contacts with the supernatural, a description of occult rituals, mystical theories, as well as traditional educational practices accepted in Tibet. Tibetan folklore and its heroes, reincarnation and memory of past incarnations, magical rituals that make it possible to master supernatural abilities, the terrifying necromantic rites of the priests of the pre-Buddhist Bonpo religion, breathing techniques, the visualization of bodiless thought-forms (tulpas) and control of body temperature, paranormal aspects of yoga, telepathic transmission of thoughts with the wind, and much more receive detailed treatment in this book.
To this day, “Mystics and Magicians in Tibet” — an unsurpassed masterpiece of mystical literature — has been read with undiminished interest by more than one generation of readers all over the world...
