Alexandra David-Neel - Magic and Mystery in Tibet - 1965

'Alexandra David - Neel is the only European woman to have been honored with the rank of a Lama. She speaks
and writes all of the Tibetan dialects fluently, and is a practising Buddhist. Having become, as she explains, a complete Asiatic, and being recognized as such by the people among whom she has lived, she has gained the complete
confidence of the most important Lamas of the country. Her knowledge of Tibet and its people comes to her, therefore, at first hand. She reveals here how Tibetan mystics acquire the ability to live naked, in zero temperatures by generating a protective body heat similar to that produced by the bee; how they can run incredible distances without rest, food or drink; how they can talk to each other over vast distances without elements off any kind by a strange sort of telepathy; how they learn to float in air and walk on water; how they bring corpses back to life; and how they can actually create animate objects by thinking them into existence.'
