Esoteric Teachings of the Tibetan Tantra
C. A. Muses
This volume contains three books of secret Vajrayana Buddhist lore translated and edited by the scholar of esotericism Charles Muses in cooperation with exiled Tibetan monks. Among the esoteric initiation rituals are found many strange passages, including a mysterious prophecy that tells of a future when Tibet will be overrun by demons, while the Naropa texts describe practices such as the Yoga of Entering Another’s Body, which can be used to reanimate a corpse. Also discussed at some length is a method of lucid dreaming or “astral projection” known as The Practice of the Illusory Body.
