In The Early Part Of The 20Th Century, It Was The Pioneering Efforts Of Keen Scholars Like W. Y. Evanswentz, The Late Editor Of This Volume, That Triggered Our Ongoing Occidental Fascination With Such Phenomena As Yoga, Zen, And Meditation. Tibetan Yoga And Secret Doctrinesa Companion To The Popular Tibetan Book Of The Dead, Which Is Also Published By Oxford In An Authoritative Evanswentz Editionis A Collection Of Seven Authentic Tibetan Yoga Texts That First Appeared In English In 1935.In These Pages, Amid Useful Photographs And Reproductions Of Yoga Paintings And Manuscripts, Readers Will Encounter Some Of The Principal Meditations Used By Hindu And Tibetan Gurus And Philosophers Throughout The Ages In The Attainment Of Right Knowledge And Enlightenment. Special Commentaries Precede Each Translated Text, And A Comprehensive Introduction Contrasts The Tenets Of Buddhism With European Notions Of Religion, Philosophy, And Science. Evanswentz Has Also Included A Body Of Orally Transmitted Traditions And Teachings That He Received Firsthand During His Fifteenplus Years Of Study In The Orient, Findings That Will Interest Any Student Of Anthropology, Psychology, Comparative Religion, Or Applied Mahayana Yoga. These Seven Distinct But Intimately Related Texts Will Grant Any Reader A Full And Complete View Of The Spiritual Teachings That Still Inform The Life And Culture Of The East. As With Evanswentz'S Other Three Oxford Titles On Tibetan Religion, Which Are Also Appearing In New Editions, This Third Edition Of Tibetan Yoga And Secret Doctrines Features A New Foreword By Donald S.
