Sommario/riassunto

'Naked Seeing' investigates visionary yogas in the Tibetan Bon and Buddhist traditions: practices in which a meditator spends long periods of time in a dark room or gazing at the open sky, with the goal of experiencing luminous visions. The book examines these practices in two major esoteric traditions and offers complete English translations of three major Tibetan texts associated with these traditions.
