Reviews

As Tibetans continue to live under an oppressive Communist regime in their native land, many Westerners are showing genuine and widespread compassion and interest in understanding Tibetan religious, cultural, and social history prior to the 1950s Chinese takeover. This new and accessible Western edition of author/explorer Govinda's (1898-1985) spiritual classic is intended for such an audience, which may know little of Tibet's contributions and the origins of its traditions. Major topics include the death and rebirth experience, ritual mystery plays, typical guru/student relationships, and the nature of pilgrimages. The stories of people the author meets who are "loving-kindness in action" (e.g., the Great Hermit) shine especially. Replete with rich descriptions of colorful Tibetan practices and a new introduction by Robert Thurman, this book will appeal to Buddhists and non-Buddhists alike. Govinda grasped the importance of conveying the time-honored sacred truths of Tibet so that upcoming generations would feel a real passion to grow spiritually. Recommended for religion collections of larger public and academic libraries.-Lisa Liquori, M.L.S., Syracuse, NY Copyright 2005 Reed Business Information.
