The Secret Oral Teachings In Tibetan Buddhist Sects by Alexandra David-Neel
A detailed, first-hand account and analysis of the hidden oral doctrines and initiatory rites found across Tibetan Buddhist schools, explaining how lineage transmission, secrecy, ethical prerequisites and specific meditation and tantric methods (including approaches akin to Mahamudra and Dzogchen) are used to produce direct experiential realization; the work combines descriptions of practices and ritual, comparisons between sects, and historical and cultural observations from the author’s Himalayan travels to make these esoteric traditions more intelligible to Western readers.
