Abarcando milenios y naciones, el estudio investiga los principios y tradiciones claves--incluyendo la vida monastica, el Tantra y el peregrinaje--y describe sus origenes y su repercusion en la vida actual. A lo largo del texto se explican varias anecdotas para demostrar la importancia de las doctrinas."
