Book Summary
Born in Germany in 1898, Lama Govinda was one of the first Westerners to present Tibetan Buddhism as an initiate and practitioner of the tradition. His books, Way of the White Clouds and Foundations of Tibetan Buddhism, remain among the best and most inspiring works in the field. Published for the first time, this complete collection of Govinda's essays considers his legacy for the 21st Century. The essays define Buddhism in relation to Western psychology, Christianity, Chinese Taoist philosophy, and scientific exploration into consciousness. In addition to an authoritative biography of Lama Govinda, the book offers a perspective on his role in bringing Dharma to the West and insights into four of his masterpieces.
