"No one is better qualified than Tucci to write a general yet comprehensive work on such a complex subject. His explorations in Tibet, extensive personal experiences, direct observations of ritual, and unmatched textual knowledge are graciously combined in this valuable and highly readable volume."
--Barbara Nimri Aziz, Journal of Asian Studies
 
"Tucci's most significant contribution is his application of a systematic analysis of parallels and interconnections among the religious practices of Tibetans. . . . We have both a thorough analysis of significant texts as well as a description and appreciation of rituals, architecture, and artifacts."
--Francis V. Tiso, Cross Currents
 
"[Readers] are not soon to find a more informative, comprehensive rendering of the religions of Tibet-minus all the myths and by a scholar as extraordinary as Giuseppe Tucci."
--A. Torn Grunfeld, Focus on Asian Studies
 
"We have here a synthesis of Tucci's knowledge and insight into one of the most extraordinary of the world's great cultures."
--Ninian Smart, Times Literary Supplement
