Buddha - Hardcover
Lavishly illustrated with color and black-and-white photographs.
Includes an appendix on the Twelve Principles of Buddhism.
Buddhism provides for the spiritual needs of nearly one third of mankind. It appeals to all because it has no dogma, satisfies reason and the heart alike, and requires self-reliance and tolerance for other points of view.
The remarkable photographs in this book are the fruits of many years of travel by the author, and cover every Asian country where Buddhism has been established. They show many facets of Buddhist belief and mythology: images of the Buddha, deities and demons, temples and devil masks. Colour, splendour and imagination are all hallmarks of Buddhist art, and its greatest and most inspired works are presented together with many strange and unfamiliar subjects. The result is a book of startling beauty and contrasts.
