Books, audiotapes, and classes about yoga are today as familiar as they are        widespread, but we in the West have only recently become engaged in the meditative        doctrines of the East--only in the last 70 or 80 years, in fact. In the early part        of the 20th century, it was the pioneering efforts of keen scholars like W. Y.          Evans-Wentz, the late editor of this volume, that triggered our ongoing occidental        fascination with such phenomena as yoga, Zen, and meditation. Tibetan Yoga and        Secret Doctrines--a companion to the popular Tibetan Book of the Dead, which is also        published by Oxford in an authoritative Evans-Wentz edition--is a collection of        seven authentic Tibetan yoga texts that first appeared in English in 1935.In these        pages, amid useful photographs and reproductions of yoga paintings and manuscripts,        readers will encounter some of the principal meditations used by Hindu and Tibetan        gurus and philosophers throughout the ages in the attainment of Right Knowledge and        Enlightenment. Special commentaries precede each translated text, and a        comprehensive introduction contrasts the tenets of Buddhism with European notions of        religion, philosophy, and science. Evans-Wentz has also included a body of orally        transmitted traditions and teachings that he received firsthand during his        fifteen-plus years of study in the Orient, findings that will interest any student        of anthropology, psychology, comparative religion, or applied Mahayana Yoga. These        seven distinct but intimately related texts will grant any reader a full and        complete view of the spiritual teachings that still inform the life and culture of        the East. As with Evans-Wentz's other three Oxford titles on Tibetan religion, which        are also appearing in new editions, this third edition of Tibetan Yoga and Secret        Doctrines features a new foreword by Donald S. Lopez, author of the recent Prisoners        of Shangri-La: Tibetan Buddhism and the West.
