Buddhist philosophy want to make clear the position of Buddhism as well as what I mean by philosophy. It has become a fashion to call Buddhism a philosophy pure and simple or to identify it with one or the other of its psychology and ethics. But Buddhism is something more, otherwise it would have remained merely a matter of aesthetic pleasure for a few belesprits, philosophers, and historians, and-in the most favorable case-the rule of conduct for a small group of puritans. Philosophies and scientific systems of psychology have never been able to exercise a dominating influence on the life of humanity, not because there was something wrong with them as systems, nor because they were lacking in truth, but because the truth contained in them was only of theoretical value, born by the brain and not by the heart, thought out by the intellect and not realized in life.

Es gibt inzwischen zahllose Veröffentlichungen über Tibet – aber kein anderes Buch reicht an Lama Govindas autobiographisches Meisterwerk heran. Es lässt nicht nur das alte, von den Chinesen zum Teil zerstörte Tibet wiederaufleben, es öffnet vor allem den unverstellten Blick auf die tibetische mystische Tradition und die geistige Größe ihrer herausragenden Lamas.Als Schüler des legendären Tomo Geshe Rimpoche wird Lama Govinda in die esoterische Tradition Tibets initiiert und kann, mit dem Segen seines Meisters, die verborgenen mystischen Orte Tibets aufsuchen. Außer Alexandra David-Neel hat kein Abendländer ein solches Wissen aus erster Hand über Tibet sammeln können wie der in Deutschland geborene große Buddhist.Die Essenz dieses Werkes reicht jedoch weit über den Tibetischen Buddhismus hinaus. Lama Govinda beschreibt die Erfahrungen auf dem zeitlosen mystischen Pfad, dessen Gesetze universell und dessen Einsichten allgemeingültig sind.Ein Buch über Selbst-Verwirklichung und Einweihung, das auch in einhundert Jahren noch die gleiche Würdigung finden wird, die ihm heute entgegengebracht wird!

"Initiation ist das Erwachen zu unserer eigenen inneren Wirklichkeit." Ein solches Erwachen wünschen sich wohl viele spirituell Suchende. Aber was macht eine wirksame Initiation aus? Lama Govinda zeigt durch sein eigenes tiefes Erleben und Verstehen, welchen Sinn Initiation hat und worauf es dabei ankommt. Seine erste tantrische Einweihung durch einen tibetischen Mystiker inspirierte ihn tief. Durch diesen Impuls machte er sich auf den Weg der Siddhas, der individuellen Erfahrung und Freiheit. Dieses Buch zeigt, wie ein Weg durch initiierende Mysterien zur Verwirklichung des individuellen Selbst führt. Es enthält bisher unveröffentlichte Gedanken aus dem Nachlass Lama Govindas.

Foundations of Tibetan Mysticism According to the Esoteric Teaching of the Great Mantra O? Ma?i Padme H?? was written by Lama Anagarika Govinda, published by E. P. Dutton & Co., Inc. and was printed in 1960 in a Hardcover binding.
