Nestled amid the high peaks and eternal snows of the Himalayas and other mountain ranges, Tibet is home to a centuries-old Buddhist tradition, rich in mystic rites and rituals aimed at helping adherents achieve spiritual bliss. In this fascinating volume, a noted authority delves into the nature and sources of Tibetan mysticism, providing readers with a wealth of information regarding Lamaic rites of initiation and the teachings given to initiates, both during and after the initiation ceremonies.The author first defines Tibetan mysticism and examines the role of the spiritual guide and the choice of a master. This is followed by a discussion of the nature of the esoteric doctrines and traditional oral instruction. Madame David-Neel then recounts in detail the various kinds of initiations and their aims, including initiations with and without "activity," the "Mani" initiation, and the different meanings of Aum mani padme hum Also covered are the magic rites known as dubthabs, the "gymnastics" of respiration, daily spiritual exercises, the contemplation of sun and sky, the dalai lamas, different kinds of morality, and many other topics.
Alexandra David-Neel was a historian of religion and a resident of Tibet for 14 years. As a practicing Buddhist, she participated in many of the spiritual rites and practices described in this book, which gives her account a special immediacy and authenticity. Lucid, objective, and highly readable, Initiations and Initiates in Tibet is a treasury of fact and lore offering valuable insights and information to students of religion and Tibetan Buddhism in particular.

Great toothpaste.
Size: Pack of 1, 4 Ounce, Set name: B. Whitening
This is by far really great toothpaste. I can tell the difference in the color of my teeth. And sometimes my teeth are kinda sensitive to harsh toothpaste. But this is good for sensitive teeth. And minty flavor is not to strong either. Try it. I hope it works for you as well as It does for me. 🤗

Gentle and Pleasant to Use
Size: Pack of 2, 1.3 Ounce, Set name: A. Ela Mint
This toothpaste feels gentle on sensitive teeth and has a clean, refreshing taste without being too strong. The texture is smooth, and it leaves my mouth feeling fresh after brushing.
I also like that it uses nano hydroxyapatite instead of fluoride, which makes it an interesting alternative to traditional toothpaste.
Overall, a good toothpaste for sensitive teeth and daily use.

Good product
I got these are way nicer then they look on here. So far they are holding up well. I keep my soap in it, it is not too hard but not too soft. I feel clean after I used it. Unfortunately, it comes wrapped in plastic, not individually but in just one plastic case. Trying to stay away from plastic but other than that works fine

Thrilled with this eco-friendly product
This product is one of my favorite Amazon purchases because they are reasonably priced, plastic free, all natural, and they work great! Initially I was concerned they would be too rough on my sensitive skin, but I find their texture to be the perfect balance of exfoliating and cleansing with a nice lather. I’ll never use a plastic loofah puff again! I highly recommend switching to sisal and bar soap. This product made the transition quite easy. 5 stars all the way!
