A seminal and still very relevant volume on Tibetan culture and religion, first published in 1957 and long out of print.

Being an early publication (1st edition - London: Bruno Cassirer 1957) in his career, he readily admits in the preface to the 2nd edition (p. xi) that "n retrospect it has seemed to me a rather amateurish work, or at least the work of a new-comer giving his first impressions of a vast and complex subject." For a lot more refined synthesis, the reader is kindly refered to Snellgrove's "Indo-Tibetan Buddhism" (1987) that originally came out in two volumes, yet somewhat later appeared in a single tome.

David Snellgrove, Ph. D., D. Litt., was elected Fellow of the British Academy in 1968. For a five year period he was Consultant for Buddhism at the then newly established Vatican Secretariat for non-Christian Religions. The author of numerous books and articles on Himalayan and Southeast Asian religions, he has been widely recognized for his extensive contributions to Asian scholarship.
