In this book the author attempts to describe how Buddhism, in a late and strange form, came to Tibet and was there developed to suit the needs of an exceptional country and people and how for several centuries and down to the present day, dominates Tibet. Many people interested in Tibetan Buddhism will gain knowledge of the inner workings of its Tibetan adaptation.

In 1913 he participated in the Simla Convention, a treaty between Great Britain, China and Tibet concerning the status of Tibet. In 1919 he resigned to devote himself fully to his research.
