Description

Contents

Going beyond the irreducibly Tibetan flavor that pervades this material, Beyer's presentation propels the reader over the "ocean of Tantra" in the direction of a more general theory of religious ritual, within whose confines the socio-dynamics of magic and mysticism, the history and philosophy of religion, epistemology, psychology, and semiotics all play important roles.

The Cult of Tara, Stephan Beyer, University of California Press, 542 pages, $32.95.
