He shares his insights into Indian and Tibetan Buddhist traditions concerning the nature of reality, the development of consciousness, death and rebirth, faith and tolerance, and the significance of meditative and ritual practices.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn depicting the Tantric Buddhist approach that utilizes ancient mantras and mandalas to produce meditative absorption in a unified experience of sound, color and form, Lame Govinda pay homage to a spiritual edifice of great beauty and complexity.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLama Govinda invokes a multidimensional vision of Buddhist understanding that includes the rational perspectives of modern science and psychology, but goes far beyond them.  In building a conceptual bridge between Eastern mysticism and western philosophy, he discusses the work of Assagioli, Teilhard de Charding and von Durkheim, among others. There are also chapters of concern to Western society, such as the expansion of consciousness through drugs and the nature of attachment and suffering in love relationships. The material presented here was gathered from lectures and articles written by Lame Govinda shortly before his death in 1985, providing readers a close look at his warmth and lovingness.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eContents\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAcknowledgments\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTranslator’s Note\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePreface\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIntroduction\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTHE WORLD AND ITS INTERPRETATION:\u003cbr\u003eThe World and Reality\u003cbr\u003eThe Development of Consciousness\u003cbr\u003e   And the Goal of the Path\u003cbr\u003eReligion and Truth\u003cbr\u003eFaith and Tolerance in Buddhism\u003cbr\u003eScience and the Doctrine of Rebirth\u003cbr\u003ePotentiality and Reality in Hinduism and Buddhism\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTHE INWARD PATH:\u003cbr\u003eBuddhist Meditation\u003cbr\u003eThe Importance of Ritual \u003cbr\u003eThe Act of Will and the Practice of Meditation\u003cbr\u003eLove and Attachment\u003cbr\u003eBack Doors to Enlightenment?
