Mystiques et magiciens du Tibet

"In this book, I have first of all related the circumstances which brought me into contact with the religious worlds of the lamas and of the sorcerers of all kinds who gravitate around them. I have then undertaken to group a certain number of salient traits concerning occult and mystical theories and the training methods of the Tibetans ... My goal has been simply to give an idea of the way in which certain facts pertinent to the field of psychological studies are seen in one of the less-known countries of the world."
