“This is an extremely welcome book that focuses on tantra. The translations are clear and precise, and the contextualizing essays offer expert guidance that gives the uninitiated easy access to the symbolism in this profound world. –Kidder, Religious Studies Review
Tantra in Practice, the eighth volume of Princeton Readings in Religions, is the first comprehensive anthology of Tantric works to be published in English. These nine international contributors are some of the most respected scholars of Tantra. Each contributor provided a translation of a key piece, most often for the first time. The introduction to each chapter begins with a discussion by the translator about the history and impact of the work. He also identifies points of difficulty or special interest. David White provided a comprehensive introduction to the volume, which serves as a guide to the wealth contained within the pages. Thematically organized, he provides fascinating juxtapositions between works from different periods, regions, and traditions. Additional tables of contents provide additional information, allowing you to organize the works according to tradition or country of origin. This volume contains a remarkable range of works, covering the entire continent of Asia as well as the traditions of Hinduism and Buddhism, Jainism, Islam, and Jainism over more than a millennium. The publication of this volume will bring attention to the long neglected and forgotten tantric traditions in Asia. This book is groundbreaking.
