Description

Divided into three parts, Part One looks at the evidence of Gurdjieff's presence in Tibet, Part Two researches the direct students of Gurdjieff who explored Tibetan or other Buddhist sects to one degree or another, and Part Three is a collection of comparative studies showing the influence of Tibetan Buddhism upon Gurdjieff's teaching. Interspersed with the author's writing on the individuals discussed in Parts One and Two are relevant texts by them, many of which were previously unavailable in English.

Critical Reviews

Gurdjieff in Tibet not only does what the title implies, providing a thorough examination of Gurdjieff's time in Tibet, it offers a convincing identity for the mysterious Sarmoung Brotherhood, reveals the web of connections between Tibetan Buddhism and the ongoing Gurdjieff Work and includes personal insights, rare photographs and obscure source texts, many of which appear in print in English for the first time.

-Andrew Phillip Smith, author of Secret History of the Gnostics, The Lost Teachings of the Cathars and Pages From a Welsh Cunning Man's Book

Layne Negrin's book is a wonder as it traces the mysterious and previously unfathomable searches and accomplishments of G.I. Gurdjieff. Most readers and practitioners of the Work are satisfied with bits and pieces of hearsay accumulated and subsequently forgotten. These pieces presume connections to sources Mr Gurdjieff made during his excavation of the meaning and purpose of organic and human life on Earth. Mr Negrin was not satisfied with these crumbs that lay scattered about, but instead began an independent extensive excavation for the threads that connect Gurdjieff's efforts, his writings, practices and sacred dances, to other true sources still existing of a great jigsaw puzzle. Mr Negrin clarifies the puzzle and how Gurdjieff's Work brings it all together and he spurs us to be both curious and excited about the puzzle as it emerges in Gurdjieff In Tibet.

-Dr Russell Schreiber, author of Gurdjieff's Transformational Psychology and 210 Psychological Explorations for Objective & Compassionate Self-Study
