First published in 1970, The Way of Power is a comprehensive exploration of the Mahayana Buddhist school prevalent in Tibet and Mongolia, known as the Vajrayana. Spanning two parts, the book offers an insightful introduction to the background and theoretical foundations of the Vajrayana before delving into a detailed examination of its practical applications. Through this comprehensive approach, the book provides a comprehensive overview of the Vajrayana's historical development, contemporary status, and the diverse schools and sects that comprise this spiritual tradition.

At its core, The Way of Power emphasizes the utilization of Tantric mystical techniques, which are believed to unlock the profound secrets of the universe and lead to spiritual enlightenment. These techniques are rooted in the belief that the physical body is a gateway to the divine and can be transformed through rigorous meditation and ritual practices. By harnessing the power of the mind and the body, practitioners of the Vajrayana aim to transcend the limitations of ordinary existence and attain a state of ultimate consciousness.

The book's appeal extends to individuals with a deep interest in Buddhism, religious psychology, and religious history. It offers valuable insights into the philosophical and psychological principles underlying the Vajrayana, providing a deeper understanding of the spiritual journey and the path to liberation. Whether one is a seasoned practitioner of Buddhism or a newcomer seeking to explore the rich tapestry of this ancient tradition, The Way of Power is an invaluable resource that will enrich one's understanding and appreciation of the Vajrayana.
