Description

Based on over thirty years research, The Buddhist Tantras includes much material not easily available elsewhere in Western language sources. This includes such matters as the tantric theory of divinity, classification of offering materials, authoritative symbolism of the mandala-palace, an explanation of tantric ritual, the tantric teaching about the body's nine orifices, and the theory of female energy in the Buddhist tantras.
