Description About the author Contents
 
There is no better illustration of the nature of Tantric Buddhism than the lives of the masters who founded it. These beautifully illustrated stories of the extraordinary men and women who attained enlightenment and magical powers by disregarding convention and penetrating to the core of life show us a way through human into spontaneous and free state of oneness with the divine. Tradition holds that the lives of the Mahasiddhas are paradigms for different processes of psychic awakening. Keith Dowman's highly readable translation of these legends from Tibetan oral tradition retained these techniques of personal transcendence and is further enhanced by the perfectly realized illustrations of the Tantric saints by Robert Beer.

Keith Dowman has spent thirty years traveling widely in India and Nepal and is an initiate of the Nyingmapa school of Tibetan Buddhism, He is the author of The Divine Madman and Power Places of Kathmandu. Robert Beer studied Tibetan Thangkas painting in India and Nepal with Khamtrul Rinpoche, the greatest living thangka painter of his time, and with Jampa-la, the state painter of Tibet.

Legends of the Mahasiddhas: Lives of the Tantric Masters, Keith Dowman & Robert Beer, Inner Traditions, Paperback (7"x 10"), 256 pages, $24.99
