"The ideas, concepts, and methods of various religions must be tried on for size, must be lifted above museum displays, must be confronted and allowed to resonate with one's own character. It is in this spirit that I present here a personalized account of central Buddhist practices."--from the author's preface. Widely recognized as one of the West's leading scholars of Tibetan Buddhism, Professor Jeffrey Hopkins is renowned for his textual translations and original scholarship. For ten years he served as the principal English translator for His Holiness the Dalai Lama. The Tantric Distinction is his effort to make accessible the complexities of this highly sophisticated philosophy by sharing his personal, individual experience with Buddhist thought and practice. It lays out the entire Buddhist path as a living experience.

After publishing over twenty books -- mostly translations of Buddhist texts -- Prof. Jeffrey Hopkins felt compelled to write a personal account of Buddhism and its practices. In The Tantric Distinction, the ideas, concepts and methods of Buddhism are "confronted and allowed to resonate with (his) own character." Hopkins has the ability to clarify complicated ideas and bring them to life. He cuts through the theories of Buddhism and brings them vividly into the realm of experience. Explaining emptiness, gurus, meditation, the cherishing of others, and the Bodhisattva ideal, Hopkins shows how the mind is addicted to the lies that the senses tell it, and describes the process of cutting through this craziness Buddhists call 'cyclic existence.'

The Tantric Tradition written by Swami Agehananda Bharati and has been published by this book supported file pdf, txt, epub, kindle and other format this book has been release on 1970 with Tantric Buddhism categories.

The tantric tradition plays a major role in Hinduism and Tibetan Buddhism, yet its teachings and philosophy are still little understood and often distorted in the West. The powerful erotic and sensual symbolism of the literature and the apparently amoral tendencies of the teachings, and the care with which their inner meaning has been guarded have made objective study of them difficult. This classic text offers an in-depth study of the literature and philosophy of the tantric tradition, one of the central themes of Hinduism and Tibetan Buddhism. The author analyzes from within the literary, liguistic, ideological, philosophical and ritualistic patterns of tantrism illustrating them with passages from the Indian and Tibetan texts. Bharati gives emphasis to mantra, intitiation, male-female polarity, symbolism and to the history and development of tantrism.
