Encyclopaedia of Buddhist Tantra (In 5 volumes)

Encyclopaedia of Buddhist Tantra by Sadhu Santideva is a definitive, 5-volume hardbound reference work that explores the deep philosophy, ritual practices, and historical development of Vajrayana (Tantric) Buddhism. Spanning 1,560 pages, this encyclopaedia is published by Cosmo Publications and offers an in-depth look at tantric deities, sadhanas, mantras, mandalas, and the psychological and spiritual framework of Buddhist Tantra.

It explains complex tantric concepts—including visualisation practices, the role of the guru, deity yoga, karma, and initiation rituals—in accessible language that is suitable both for scholars and serious practitioners. It draws on a variety of classical sources to present an authoritative perspective on Tantric Buddhism’s origin, its traditions across Tibet, Nepal, India, and China, and its significance in modern practice.

This set is ideal for researchers, students of religious studies, Buddhist practitioners, academics of Indology, and libraries wanting a thorough reference on Buddhist Tantra.
