Composed in India during the eighth century, this text is a foundational scripture of one of the most important Indian Buddhist tantric traditions. The author's introductory essay provides an analysis of the historical and intellectual contexts in which the text was composed, and also investigates the history of its adaptation by Buddhists. The translation itself is heavily annotated, with extensive translations from the Indian and Tibetan commentaries on the text. Includes a trilingual glossary and index.

"Gray's The Cakrasamvara Tantra is a landmark in the study of tantric Buddhism." -- Roger Jackson, Buddhadharma
