<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>"No one is better qualified than Tucci to write a general yet comprehensive work on such a complex subject. His explorations in Tibet, extensive personal experiences, direct observations of ritual, and unmatched textual knowledge are graciously combined in this valuable and highly readable volume."--Barbara Nimri Aziz, <i>Journal of Asian Studies</i> "Tucci's most significant contribution is his application of a systematic analysis of parallels and interconnections among the religious practices of Tibetans. . . . We have both a thorough analysis of significant texts as well as a description and appreciation of rituals, architecture, and artifacts."--Francis V. Tiso, <i>Cross Currents</i> "[Readers] are not soon to find a more informative, comprehensive rendering of the religions of Tibet-minus all the myths and by a scholar as extraordinary as Giuseppe Tucci."--A. Torn Grunfeld, <i>Focus on Asian Studies</i> "We have here a synthesis of Tucci's knowledge and insight into one of the most extraordinary of the world's great cultures."--Ninian Smart, <i>Times Literary Supplement</i><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Giuseppe Tucci</b> was Professor of Religion and Philosophy at the University of Rome. <b>Geoffrey Samuel</b> is professor of anthropology at the University of Newcastle, New South Wales.
