"...this is the most direct, no-nonsense, and down-to-earth explanation of Mahayana Buddhism that has been written. Specifically, it is a wonderfully lucid account of the Middle Way method of enlightenment worked out by the great Indian sage Nagarjuna." -Alan Watts, The Book


"The Secret Oral Teachings in Tibetan Buddhist Sects by Alexandra David-Neel and Lama Yongden, is always on my night stand. I return to it again and again in different stages of my life." -Marina Ambramovic


"David-Neel herself is often relegated to the ranks of "women adventurers", this despite the production of some forty-odd books, several of which have wielded an extraordinary influence." -Harry Oldmeadow, La Trobe University, Bendigo, Australia
