The significance and operation of 'Mantras', the sacred 'words of power' memorised for meditation in India, China and Tibet is explained by John Blofeld in this beautifully illustrated book. Meditators chant them rhythmically or repeat them inwardly and often visualise the syllables as emanating rays of gloriously coloured light. Many people believe the syllables themselves are imbued with miraculous powers and John Blofeld explores these more controversial aspects as well.
John Blofeld lives in Thailand and has studied Buddhism and Taoism most of his life.
