The Oxford Handbook of Tantric Studies is designed to explicitly address some of the obstacles to the study of tantra; to facilitate scholarly discourse; to address the problems of category, definition, and origins; and to facilitate collaboration between scholars working on different forms of tantra. For this reason, instead of employing sectarian, regional, or disciplinary categories, this Handbook is organized topically. Thus, rather than viewing tantra as a subset of Śaiva, or Śākta, or Vaiṣṇava, Jain or Buddhist traditions, the chapters demonstrate how tantra can be autotelic— located within these traditions in complex symbiotic relations, practitioners pursue their own ends, interacting with the thought and practice of the tradition with which they are affiliated. At the same time, the Handbook views tantra as a religious phenomenon best studied from multiple disciplinary perspectives, using different strategies of interpretation. Crossing the boundaries of language and religious culture, the tantric traditions that extended from South and Southeast Asia through Central/Inner Asia and East Asia today constitute part of the global religious culture. The range of academic specializations involved—sectarian, linguistic, textual, and cultural— has required input from scholars working in several different fields of  and who offer a plurality of perspectives on the shared object of study.
