This is one of the rarest Oriental mystery books known. It is translated by special permission of the Grand Lama and Disciples of the Sacred College in the Grand Temple in Tibet.
Here is a book that was written two thousand years ago, and was hidden in manuscript form from the eyes of the world and given only to the initiates of the temples in Tibet to study privately.
Out of the mystery of the past comes this antique book containing the rarest writings and teachings known to man with the exception of the Bible. Hundreds of books have been written about the teachings and practices of the Masters of the Far East and the Adepts of Tibet, but none of them has ever contained the secret teachings found in this book. This book is divided into many parts, each part containing a large number of sections or divisions and chapters.
Ancient wisdom -- Timeless truths -- Priceless treasure of knowledge
Originally published in 1929, this book deals with man's passions, loves, desires, weaknesses, sins, strengths, fortitudes, ambitions, and hopes.
