This is one of the classic studies on the lamaism of Tibet and its discussion of the religious aspects of lamaism is especially thorough. Divided into 8 sections, it ranges from the history of lamaism to aspects of popular lamaism as observed by Waddell in Tibet. Included also are discussions of the lamaistic doctrines, monastic orders, the shrines and structures, ritual and mythology, festivals and sacred dramas.
