From inside flap:

In the East, everything is possible. Or, to put it another way, everything is illustion. Opposite statements that, to the Zen trained riddle-reader or Yogi, make as much sense as "one plus one equals two" does to you and me. It is not an easy path to become a saintly master or to attain the goal of complete union with the one power from which springs every sentient or created thing. the eastern miracle man must train and develop the powers that entitle him to be called Yogi or lama or guru or fakir or swami. The seemingly strange combination of magic, mysticism and religious ritual makes the eastern religions such fascinating fare. The training and reputed powers, the lives and thoughts of Oriental Mystics and Magicians make for thought provoking and enlightening reading.
