In breve: This volume forms a sequel to the author's Tibet Past and Present and The People of Tibet. Like them, it is in part an historical account, in part a description of conditions in the earlier part of the 20th century. Sir Charles Bell traces the history of the introduction of Buddhism, of the resistance and general decay of the older magic-worship of Ponism, and of the developments which have taken place within Tibetan Buddhism itself.
