Magic and Mystery in Tibet - by Madame Alexandra David-Neel (Paperback)

As a practicing Buddhist and Oriental linguist, Madame David-Neel lived in Tibet for over 14 years, studying philosophical Buddhism and Tibetan Tantra at great centers, meditating with yogi hermits in lonely caves, and even witnessing forbidden corpse-magic in the forests.
