From the publisher: “The Alchemical Buddha offers a unique insight into the nature of Buddhist
Tantra. It explores a psychological perspective that draws on Jung's knowledge of alchemy to
clarify the meaning behind what can often be obscure within the Tantric tradition. Rob Preece
addresses some of the major difficulties we may encounter when trying to integrate this profound
path of transformation into western life. He draws on his own experiences and struggles as a
practitioner of many years, and his work as a Psychotherapist and meditation teacher.”

Publications, 2005.
From the publisher: “Compassion grows from an understanding of our fallibility not from ideals
of perfection. Wisdom does not always come as a flash of inspiration but from the slow often
painful working of experience. We grow from our errors, they are the manure of transformation.
The Noble Imperfection explores the journey of individuation in Buddhist life, looking at the
psychological process beneath the traditional Buddhist path of the Bodhisattva. Rob Preece draws
on his work as a psychotherapist and meditation teacher to explore the psychological influences
on our struggle to awaken.”

From the publisher: “A master of yoga collaborates with an American-trained psychologist in
presenting this practical, holistic perspective on the role of emotions in the development of
consciousness. They explain how we can all expand our consciousness from a state of conflict,
confusion, and emotionalism to the experience of greater joy and harmony. Many facets of this
developmental process are described, along with methods that lead to emotional maturity and
expanded consciousness.”
