Originally published in 1973. The volume is divided into four
sections: The introduction places the position of the Buddhist
Tantras within Mahayana Buddhism and recalls their early literary
history, especially the Guhyasamahatantra; the section also covers
Buddhist Genesis and the Tantric tradition. The foundations of the
Buddhist Tantras are discussed and the Tantric presentation of
divinity; the preparation of disciples and the meaning of
initiation; symbolism of the mandala-palace Tantric ritual and the
twilight language. This section explores the Tantric teachings of
the inner Zodiac and the fivefold ritual symbolism of passion. The
bibliographical research contains an analysis of the Tantric
section of the Kanjur exegesis and a selected Western Bibliography
of the Buddhist Tantras with comments.
