Review

“Dr. Evans-Wentz, who literally sat at the feet of a Tibetan lama for years in order to acquire his wisdom…not only displays a deeply sympathetic interest in those esoteric doctrines so characteristic of the genius of the East, but likewise possesses the rare faculty of making them more or less intelligible to the layman.” —Anthropology (on the previous edition)
