Living Buddhism by Andrew Powell
Buddhist ideals of enlightenment and the practice of meditation have caught the imagination of many in the western world. For this book, author Andrew Powell and photographer Graham Harrison have travelled throughout the Far East, visiting Buddhist communities in Sri Lanka, Thailand, Burma, India, Nepal, Tibet, China and Japan and have interviewed some of the religion's leading figures, including the Dalai Lama at his home in Dharamsala in the foothills of the Himalayas. While the photographs immerse us in the landscapes of the East and reveal the minutiae of the lives of both monks and laity, the text explores the major Buddhist traditions - Theravada, Tibetan Tantric Buddhism and Zen - and shows how these are withstanding the pressures of the rapidly changing world of the late 20th-century.| SKU | Unavailable |
