In this very book he describes the history and eight significant aspects of the buddhist saint Padmasambhava, who is supposed to have brought tantric style buddhism to Tibet. Being 'tantric' does not mean - as often suggested - a wild and narcisstic sexualized lifestyle - but rather a highly disciplined practice that intends not to be arrested too much by the inscriptive qualities of visual images, concepts, words, our fantasies, and narratives.
