Jacob P. Dalton explores the complex intersection of violence and liberation within the development of Tibetan Buddhism. By analyzing early tantric manuscripts and ritual practices, the author traces how the tradition transformed archaic themes of blood sacrifice and demon taming into sophisticated metaphors for the conquest of inner obstacles and the path toward enlightenment.
