TIBETAN YOGA

AND SECRET DOCTRINES

Second Edition

Seven Books of Wisdom of the Great Path

Arranged and edited by W. Y. Evans-Wentz

Seven authentic Tibetan yoga texts, almost unknown to the occidental

world until their first publication in English in 1935, are now available

in this Galaxy Book edition. A companion to the unique Tibetan Book

of the Dead (GB 39), which the late Dr. Evans-Wentz also edited, this

volume, illustrated with photographs and reproductions of yoga paintings

and manuscripts, contains some of the principal meditations used by

illustrious Hindu and Tibetan gurus and philosophers through the ages

in attaining Right Knowledge and Enlightenment. The editor, whose

inquiry and research extended through more .than fifteen years in the

Orient, spent much time as a pupil of Hindu sages and Buddhist lamas.

He has included a body of orally transmitted tradition and teachings

received at first hand. These will be of particular interest to anthropol-

ogists and psychologists, and to students of comparative religion and

practically applied Mahayana Yoga. Special commentaries precede each

carefully rendered text, and a comprehensive preface contrasts the tenets

of Buddhism with European concepts of religion, philosophy, and science.

Yoga, the tap root of Hinduism, Jainism, Zen Buddhism, and Taoism,

has also influenced the development of Judaism, Islam and Christianity.

These seven distinct but intimately related books, arranged in orderly

sequence, afford a comprehensive view of the spiritual teachings which

have shaped the culture of the Orient, and which are now increasingly

enriching the West's appreciation of the depths of the human psyche.

The late W. Y. Evans-Wentz, formerly of Jesus College, Oxford, is

also the editor of The Tibetan Book of the Dead (GB 39), The Tibetan

Book of the Great Liberation (GB 260), and Tibet's Great Yogi,

Milarepa (GB 294). His substantial tetralogy of works on yoga, based

on translations from the Tibetan, offers an "interpretation from within"

rarely found in the works of Western scholars. During the early years

of this century Dr. Evans-Wentz lived in India and in Sikkim, at the

invitation at the Maharaja Sidkyong Tulku, where he studied occult

doctrines intensively.
