Originally published in 1973. The volume is divided into four sections: The introduction places the position of the Buddhist Tantras within Mahayana Buddhism and recalls their early literary history, especially the Guhyasamahatantra; the section also covers Buddhist Genesis and the Tantric tradition. The foundations of the Buddhist Tantras are discussed and the Tantric presentation of divinity; the preparation of disciples and the meaning of initiation; symbolism of the mandala-palace Tantric ritual and the twilight language. This section explores the Tantric teachings of the inner Zodiac and the fivefold ritual symbolism of passion. The bibliographical research contains an analysis of the Tantric section of the Kanjur exegesis and a selected Western Bibliography of the Buddhist Tantras with comments.

Mr. Zimmer had a profound mind. He was able to present the many shades, levels, of thinking in India as it was influenced by the various invaders over the many centuries. Probably only those interested in our fragile human condition might be interested in his work, edited by Joseph Campbell, also a wonderful observer. For a great depth of fearless vision and great sympathy for our continuous daily struggles, this is comfort food. This goes for all of Mr. Zimmer?s works such as Philosophies of India and the King and the Corpse. Philosophies of India is his finest work.
