With notes on its mystic cults , symbolism and mythology and its relations to Indian Buddhism. p An exhaustive study and exposition of the Buddhist beliefs as practiced in Tibet. The book is planned as an encyclopedia, and it has sections devoted to each aspect of Lamaism. The book is divided into 9 sections which give copious descriptions. The sections covered are: Historical ; Doctrinal ; Monastic; Buildings; Mythology and gods ; Ritual and sorcery; Festivals and plays ; and finally, on popular Lamaism. Each of these sections is further sub divided, and hence makes the perusal of this book quite friendly ~ This book is profusely illustrated with wood cuts - over 175 of them. The work is a reprint of the 1899 edition
