John Blofeld (1913 1987) was a British writer on Asian thought and religion, especially Taoism and Chinese and Tibetan Buddhism. He resided in and traveled around China from 1937 until 1949, visiting monasteries and all the sacred mountains and talking to Mongolian lamas, Zen masters, Taoist sages, and others. He lived for some time in Peking, and traveled through Asia (Tibet, Mongolia, China, India, and Burma) to visit the places where those religions lived within their practitioners. He talked to Taoist eremites (hermits) , spent time in monasteries and experienced how alive the spiritual culture of China was in this period. Blofeld became a pupil of Hsu Yun but actually received training in Chan meditation from Hsu Yun's pupils at a monastery near Kunming, Yunnan. He also received Vajrayana teachings. He taught English in Hong Kong (1949-1951) and at Chulalongkorn University in Bangkok (1951-1961). During these years he also visited Darjeeling to study with Nyingma teachers including Dudjom Rinpoche and Dodrupchen Rinpoche. His own view on the practices and beliefs he encountered was always marked by admiration of this lived spirituality. As his studies dove deeper into the complex symbolism of Asian thought, he developed deep spirituality. Blofeld mentored Red Pine in his translation work. According to Red Pine, Blofeld "was a very sincere Buddhist who practiced every night for several hours and loved what he did. I don't think he ever stopped learning." ; Large 8vo 9" - 10" tall; xiii, 257 pages.

Octavo; hardcover; green and black cloth boards with black spine titling and dark grey endpapers, top edges dyed green; 404pp. with one frontispiece. and 7pp. of monochrome plates and many monochrome illustrations. Pages only very lightly toned; upper text block edge a little faded; else very good in illustrated green and black dustwrapper with slightly foxed rear panel - now professionally protected by superior non-adhesive archival film. Postage quoted is for a standard format octavo book. Final charges may vary depending on size and weight. E.A. Wallis Budge was the ultimate work-experience boy, signing on as an assistant to the Antiquities Department at the British Museum in London and eventually rising from working class beginnings to become Keeper of the Department of Egyptian and Assyrian Antiquities. During this time he taught himself a variety of languages including Pharaonic and Assyrian and put himself through school. Of the many books he wrote once he had attained his position in the archaeological community, this one numbers among the best and, although now more than somewhat out of date with the current thinking in Egyptology, that community still has a soft spot for it. Used as a reference for everything from Egyptian art, to movies, to occult research, this book traces the origins and techniques surrounding the mummification process, not neglecting the spells, inscriptions and religious aspects of the process. A reader might come to this text out of a sense of morbid fascination; however, they'll leave with a profound respect for the Ancient Egyptian culture and the sheer scope and sensitivity of its funereal and cultural practices.
