The Tibetan Book of the Great Liberation, which was unknown to the Western world        until its first publication in 1954, speaks to the quintessence of the Supreme Path,        or Mahayana, and fully reveals the yogic method of attaining Enlightenment. Such        attainment can happen, as shown here, by means of knowing the One Mind, the cosmic        All-Consciousness, without recourse to the postures, breathings, and other        techniques associated with the lower yogas. The original text for this volume        belongs to the Bardo Thodol series of treatises concerning various ways of achieving        transcendence, a series that figures into the Tantric school of the Mahayana.          Authorship of this particular volume is attributed to the legendary Padma-Sambhava,        who journeyed from India to Tibet in the 8th century, as the story goes, at the        invitation of a Tibetan king. Padma-Sambhava's text per se is preceded by an account        of the great guru's own life and secret doctrines. It is followed by the        testamentary teachings of the Guru Phadampa Sangay, which are meant to augment the        thought of the other gurus discussed herein.Still more useful supplementary material        will be found in the book's introductory remarks, by its editor Evans-Wentz and by        the eminent psychoanalyst C. G. Jung. The former presents a 100-page General        Introduction that explains several key names and notions (such as Nirvana, for        starters) with the lucidity, ease, and sagacity that are this scholar's hallmark;        the latter offers a Psychological Commentary that weighs the differences between        Eastern and Western modes of thought before equating the "e;collective unconscious"e;        with the Enlightened Mind of the Buddhist. As with the other three volumes in the        late Evans-Wentz's critically acclaimed Tibetan series, all four of which are being        published by Oxford in new editions, this book also features a new Foreword by        Donald S. Lopez.
