Based on over 30 years of study, this volume communicates various aspects of the Buddhist Tantra through research based on Tantric texts.

Divided into four sections, this work gives an introduction that places the position of the Buddhist Tantras within Mahayana Buddhism and recalls their early literary history, especially the Guhyasamahatantra. It covers Buddhist Genesis and the Tantric tradition. It also discusses the foundations of the Buddhist Tantras.
