The Buddhism of Tibet, or Lamaism, with its mystic cults, symbolism and mythology, and in its relation to Indian Buddhism

Omtale

Laurence Austine Waddell (1854–1938) served in the Indian Medical Service, which took him to Darjeeling, Burma and Tibet. He carried out original field research at Buddhist temples and among the lay population. Highly illustrated, this landmark study of Tibetan Buddhism, its history, doctrine, temples and rituals, first appeared in 1895.
