Abstract | In an introductory section the author,after touching upon some methodological questions, discusses, with interesting references, the early literary history of Buddhist Tantrism,the beginning of the Tantric tradition,and the nature of Buddhist esotericism. 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. |
