An account of the impact of Tibetan Buddhism upon the Western imagination, which deploys a wide range of sources and draws together diverse strands in surveying the extensive literature of travel and exploration, Jungian interpretations of Tibetan themes and the self-projection of Tibetan Buddhism within contemporary Western culture. This study in cultural psychology places the East-West exchange of spiritual ideas within social and psychological contexts. Bishop's other titles include "The Myth of Shangri-La" (1989).
