The Tibetan Book of the Great Liberation, or the Method of Realizing Nirvana through Knowing the Mind

lxiv, 261 pp. This volume, the fourth of Dr. Evans-Wentz's noted Tibetan series, contains teachings of paramount importance from illustrious gurus of Tibet and India. Unknown to the Western world until its first publication in 1954, The Tibetan Book of the Great Liberation expounds the quintessence of the Supreme Path, the Mahayana, and reveals the yogic method of attaining Enlightenment by means of knowing the One Mind, the cosmic All-Consciousness, without recourse to the postures, breathings, and other techniques commonly associated with the lower yogas. In a thirty-five page commentary, Dr. C.G. Jung, the eminent psychoanalyst, discusses differences in Eastern and Western modes of thought, and equates the "collective unconscious" with the Buddhist Enlightened Mind.
