Contents: 1. Historical. 2. Doctrinal. 3. Monastic. 4. Buildings. 5. Mythology and Gods. 6. Ritual and sorcery. 7. Festivals and plays. 8. Popular Lamaism. Appendices. Index. "The special characteristics of the book are its detailed accounts of the external facts and curious symbolisms of Buddhism, and its analyses of the internal movements leading to Lamaism and its sects and cults. It provides material culled from hoary Tibetan tradition and explained by Lamas for elucidating many obscure parts in primitive Indian Buddhism and its later symbolism. Thus a clue is supplied to several dispute doctrinal points of fundamental importance, as for example the formula of the casual nexus. "With this view the nabulous Tibetan "history" so called of the earlier periods has been somewhat critically examined in the light afforded by some scholarly Lamas and contemporary history and all fictitious chronicles, hitherto treated usually as historical and rejected as authoritative for events which happened a thousand years before they were written and for a time when writing was admittedly unknown in Tibet." 598 pp

"This is the only complete history of Tibet in English, a lucid and straightforward history of the country from its beginnings in the sixth century A.D., to the present day. As the official representative of the British and Indian governments at Lhasa for long periods between 1936 and 1950, Hugh Richardson writes from firsthand knowledge of Tibet and its people." Sir Hugh Richardson was well ahead of any Westerner on his day in his knowledge and understanding of Tibetan culture. Certainly he knew more than Tucci, Harrer and Govinda combined about the history of Tibet and its political institutions. 327 pp. incl. index and maps. ISBN: 0877732922
