Tantric Buddhism is concerned with the direct experience of who we are and what we can become. Its sole aim is to help us realize our potential for profound wisdom and unbounded compassion by transforming the energy locked in by old habits, fears and narrow views. For the Tantra this experience is beyond words and thought. But it can be evoked with the help of symbols. Without the help of a reliable guide one could easily get lost or overwhelmed in this unfamiliar world of symbols. Sangharakshita is such a guide.

Philosophy or religion, way of life or way of being, Buddhism never ceases to intrigue. Its multiple facets bear witness to the diversity of its paths, and its innumerable aspects can disorient the newcomer. The essence however remains, a deep root common to all those searching for knowledge: a man, anchored in a moment of history, awakened to affirm that it is within the power of everyone to attain wisdom. Metamorphosis is not sudden, cannot happen from one day to the next; it demands reflection and time, the reading of many symbols. The renewed interest that Buddhism has enjoyed over the past years - led by its spiritual and temporal guide, the Dalai Lama - has made it possible to approach the meaning and origins of this teaching more fully. --Publishers website.

This exploration and explanation of Tibetan Buddhist symbols uses full color images of the actual art work painted over the centuries in Tibet. By using the actual art work the context is kept and expounded on so the reader can fully appreciate the depth of meaning, for example, that an object surrounded by flames and kusha grass set in the Mahamudra Mists conveys. Explanations are offered into the various layers of those meanings and how they can be applied by any person seeking truth and self-awareness on the path to enlightenment. This leads to a powerful multilayered message and instruction that the viewer and reader can apply to their own journey. The actual teachings of Buddha are used to explain the Path to Awareness along with commentary. ~~~ We have ventured into the wisdom secrets of the esoteric world of tantric Tibetan Buddhism, providing in-depth explanations along with translations of the originating texts from noted teachers such as Tilopa, Milarepa, and Naropa among others. Along the way we provide context to the symbols, so when symbols have divergent meanings the viewer can determine which meaning applies to that particular depiction.~~~For example, delving into a seemingly simple depictions of cinnabar, showing how it is used to connect to the mind-stream, through both the use of cinnabar and the thought process shown in the multilayered context of actual Tibetan art. How to apply it to help focus meditation and access primordial wisdom and additionally, cinnabar is recommended by Buddha for use to access that supernormal wisdom. ~~~Another example would be the yin-yang symbol: what does it have to do with the Dharma Wheel and the Eightfold Noble Path? We show the relationships provided by context in ways no other book has explored.

In this volume Sangharakshita approaches communicating Buddhism in the West from two very different, but equally illuminating, angles. In the first part, in talks given in the early years of his teaching in England, he introduces the apparently exotic worlds of Tibetan Buddhism (1965) and its creative symbols (1972) and Zen Buddhism (1965), clarifying their mysteries while also somehow allowing them to work their magic.
