Now hold on a minute. The title of your request tells us absolutely nothing about the book you want. @DurumKebab was right in pointing out that the book "Tibetan Ritual" by José I. Cabezón from which the particular chapter you linked to is taken was available on the net, so why didn't you request it? The Book Request section is mainly for whole books, and while it isn't exactly against the rules to request shorter scholarly papers, reading single chapters of a given book is a bit unsatisfying when you know you could have had the whole tome.

Besides, the documents on academia.edu are freely available once you log in with your Google account (FB doesn't work for me), so I downloaded that chapter you requested but wouldn't want to upload it myself because it doesn't contain that vaunted "Handbook of Tibetan Ritual Magic" at all, it only discusses it from a scholarly (and highly specialized Tibetological) point of view. I wouldn't mind posting the entire "Tibetan Ritual" by José I. Cabezón (in a seperate request!) but then you can download it yourself now.

I'm giving you a verbal warning now, the next time you make such request wih an unspecific heading it will be official.

I meant the ancient book mentioned in the article, not the academic book. But I guess there is no translation of it to english.

Read the rules and do your research. Linking to an academic article as a request while actually expecting us to guess that you're really after the book it's about is asking a bit too much. Specify clearly the book you want and we might succeed in locating it, we're not (all?) mindreaders here.

Sorry for the confusion, I have Saturn in Gemini while living in a country with Saturn in house 3. Communication sometimes is a difficulty thing for me, but it won't happen again.
