The teachings of the late Lama Kazi Dawa-Samdup, the Tibetan guru, have been culled and presented for Western world. It also aims at fostering greater understanding for further study on certain aspects of Higher or Transcendental Mahayanic teachings.

This book is the culmination of that religious ideals of Orient that anthropologically human race is one family and external differences are due to hereditary thinking. People of occident will find this useful and realize its importance.
