unification and of inner equality -- Padma: the path of creative

'It tells of terrible journeys, of men masked against the sun
(riding through ethereal regions with their feet frozen), of
welcoming fog-girt monasteries lit by butter lamps at the journey's
end' - "New Statesman". "The Way of the White Clouds" is the
remarkable narrative of a pilgrimage, which could not be made
today. Lama Anagarika Govinda was among the last to journey through
Tibet before its invasion by the Chinese. His unique account is not
only a spectacular and gloriously poetic story of exploration and
discovery; but also invaluable for its sensitive and clearly
presented interpretation of the Tibetan tradition. 'Why is it that
the fate of Tibet has found such a deep echo in the world? There
can only be one answer: Tibet has become the symbol of all that
present-day humanity is longing for' - Lama Anagarika Govinda.
"Initiation ist das Erwachen zu unserer eigenen inneren
Wirklichkeit." Ein solches Erwachen wunschen sich wohl viele
spirituell Suchende. Aber was macht eine wirksame Initiation aus?
Lama Govinda zeigt durch sein eigenes tiefes Erleben und Verstehen,
welchen Sinn Initiation hat und worauf es dabei ankommt. Seine
erste tantrische Einweihung durch einen tibetischen Mystiker
inspirierte ihn tief. Durch diesen Impuls machte er sich auf den
Weg der Siddhas, der individuellen Erfahrung und Freiheit. Dieses
Buch zeigt, wie ein Weg durch initiierende Mysterien zur
Verwirklichung des individuellen Selbst fuhrt. Es enthalt bisher
unveroffentlichte Gedanken aus dem Nachlass Lama Govindas.
