However the essence of The Secret Oral Teachings depends upon the opposite viewpoint, that man is Void and the ego is an Illusion.
This fascinating book shows us how to start accepting this humbling truth, and presents the allied wisdom gathered by intrepid traveler and committed Buddhist Alexandra David Neel, who was one of the first westerners to visit the forbidden city of Lhasa.
For anyone interested in esoteric philosophy, this book by the author who inspired Kerouac and Ginsberg in the 1960s, is a treasury of little known information about a potential role as a guide to the more serene life. |
