The second section considers the foundation of the Buddhist Tantras. It also includes, among others, chapters on ritual,and interpretations of the symbolism of the Tibetan Mandala. A final section,special studies, deals with such esoteric subjects as the 9 orifices of the body,the inner zodiac,female energy,and the five-fold ritual symbolism of passion.
