Westerners wanting to know about tantra -- particularly the Buddhist tantra of Tibet -- have often had to work with speculation and fancy. Tibet has been shrouded in mystery; tantra has been called upon to name every kind of esoteric fantasy; Buddhism has been left vague or inaccessible. In The Dawn of Tantra the reader meets a Tibetan meditation master and a Western scholar whose grasp of Buddhist tantra is real and unquestionable. In their collaboration -- based on a seminar given in Berkeley, California -- Herbert V. Guenther and Chogyam Trungpa offer a balanced view of their subject which avoids the extremes of arid scholasticism and facile psychology. In the words of Trungpa Rinpoche, Professor Guenther and I decided that the best way for us to approach the subject of tantra together is for him to deal with the prajna or knowledge aspect of it, and for me to deal with the upaya, the skillful means or actual application aspect of it. The resulting discussion is both true to the intent of the ancient Tibetan teachings and relevant to the everyday world of contemporary Westerners.
