Herbert V. Guenther is a German-born philosophy scholar who has shined light on various impenetrable Buddhist texts over the course of his career. In this 1975 classic, Guenther and Tibetan Buddhist master Chogyam Trungpa demystify the practice of Tantra for Westerners.

This slender volume is a concise and penetrating primer on Tantric thought.
