Secret Drugs of Buddhism is the first book to explore the historical evidence for the use of entheogenic plants within the Buddhist tradition. Drawing on scriptural sources, botany, pharmacology, and religious iconography, this book calls attention to the central role which psychedelics played in Indian religions. It traces their history from the mysterious soma potion, celebrated in the most ancient Hindu scriptures, to amrita, the sacramental drink of Vajrayana Buddhism. Although amrita used in modern Vajrayana ceremonies lacks any psychoactivity, there is copious evidence that the amrita used by the earliest Vajrayana practitioners was a potent entheogen. It is the nature of this psychedelic form of the sacrament which is the central topic of this book. In particular, Secret Drugs of Buddhism attempts to identify the specific ingredients employed in amrita's earliest formulations. To this end, the book presents evidence from many countries in which the Vajrayana movement flourished. These include Bhutan, Japan, Mongolia, and Tibet but special attention is given to India, the land of its origin.Binding Type: Paperback

Can’t be cancelled when ordered. Beware
I ordered this extended warranty for an RV hose but cancelled the hose just a few minutes after the order was placed. The hose order was successfully canceled, but the insurance, for it was unable to be canceled. So I have it insurance on a product I don’t actually own. That is helpful. (Not). They were supposed to send me an email confirmation for insurance which I did not receive. It makes me wonder how their customer support would be if you actually had a claim. Based on this, I would certainly stay away from this company.

Asurion insurance worth purchasing!
We purchased the above ground pool vacuum from extremepowerUS, great vacuum. We used this pool vacuum for 3 years before it died. We purchased the extra warranty through Asurion when we purchased the vacuum. I contacted Asurion and they sent me a gift card in the amount of my purchase. No questions asked, they made it so easy. Thanks Asurion.

Hassle free experience!
Very impressed by how easy it was to file a claim online. I was expecting a hassle or a run around to make it more work than necessary, to discourage claims, but nope, super simple! I initially thought I would get a replacement product, but instead, they sent an Amazon e-gift card, which was even better, since the price of the product went up from when I originally bought it. With the gift card, I was able to replace it with a cheaper item. Definitely worth the low cost insurance!
