The Buddhism of Tibet Or Lamaism

The present volume provides wealth of information on the Buddhism of Tibet or "Lamaism" as it has been called, after its priests, as well as later Indian developments of Buddhism. The author defines with clarity the theistic development of Lamaism from the earlier doctrines of the Buddhist faith, and refers especially to the details of sects, shrines, discipline, superstition and customs. A pioneering work which penetrates the frigid reserve and jealously guarded mysteries of the Tibetan Buddhist Priests or "Lamas".
