I mirror the first rating. I reflect that sometimes it is first impression/best impression. In the long run it really doesn't matter. I am speaking about Blofeld's direct experience of Tibetan Buddhism...in Tibet. This was before the CHANGE. Inter-resting to think how buddhism has evolved into west.
Excellent introduction to Vajrayana buddhism.

I'm surprised noone has reviewed this book as it has been around for years and is still, in my view, the best first book to read for a westerner interested in Tibetan Buddhism. Blofeld was a dedicated practitioner who shares his insights, his failures, and his transcendent experiences. This was not his favorite book and he was always surprised by its success. While there are many more profound books now available by recognized Tibetan spiritual leaders, none of them have written a simple manual for getting started that is as good as Blofeld sharing his experiences.
