Description

Esoteric Teachings of the Tibetan Tantra is a book by Charles Musès, first published in 1961, presenting English translations and editorial commentary on classic tantric materials from the Tibetan Vajrayāna tradition. Written for readers interested in practical tantric practice as well as comparative study, the volume gathers material such as the Seven Initiation Rituals, the Six Yogas of Nāropā, and teachings on Mahāmudrā, paired with Musès’s interpretive notes that aim to make difficult ritual and yogic procedures intelligible to Western students. The text balances descriptive scholarship with practical instruction, so it functions both as a historical sourcebook and a hands-on guide for those exploring Tibetan tantra and Vajrayāna practice. While edited and framed by Musès’s own philosophical interests, the work draws on translations attributed to Tibetan informants and translators. Readers seeking material on tantric initiation, the Six Yogas tradition, or Mahāmudrā will find this a compact, practical collection that sits between devotional manual and scholarly primer.
