Riveting, informed and adventurous, Yaroslav Komarovski's reflections on mystical practice and polemic in Tibet makes a distinctive and important contribution to the study of Tibetan mysticism as well as mysticism across cultures. Drawing on contemplative and philosophical texts, he brings classical Tibetan voices right into contemporary Western debates on mysticism, especially regarding the possibility of unmediated experience. Never reductive, always rigorous and dynamically engaged, this book offers genuinely new insights for Buddhists, Buddhist scholars, and researchers on the cross-cultural dynamics within and between religious-mystical trajectories.
