'Secret of the Vajra World ' is the companion volume to the author's earlier book, 'Indestructible Truth: The Living Spirituality of Tibetan Buddhism. ' While that book focuses on the history, cosmology, philosophy, and practice of the more public, exoteric side of Tibetan Buddhism, this work treats its more hidden and esoteric aspects as they take shape in Vajrayana. Together, the two volumes provide a broad introduction to the major traditions of Tibetan Buddhism.
