The Buddha Book

I would highly recommend this book to anyone who is interested in Buddhism. This book is one of the best I have ever bought, the pictures alone are absolutely breathtaking. The author Lillian Too explains everything in an easy to understand way as she takes you step by step though the stages of Budddhism. Thank You Ms. Too Namaste

Beautiful Mantras and Meditations

I love this book! I was looking forever for a book with mantras in it and this one really delivered. I keep it with my altar and use it regularly in my meditation practice. It's instructions on the rituals and meditations are really clear and it is beautifully illustrated. This book had totally blessed me!

Visually Stunning

As the previous reviewer commented, this book is powerfully visual; filled with gorgeous imagery of various depictions of the Buddha and photography of young monks holding candles. Intermingled in this is a pretty good introduction into Tibetan Buddhism, wisdom applicable to your life is found herein on every page. Lillian Too's approach is simultaneously open and honest. So, if you are looking for a book of masterful art, here is your book. If you are looking for a daily devotional, here is your book. If you are looking for a brief autobiography of a typical layperson practicing the Buddha's Dharma, this is your book. It's truly fairly all encompassing. Grab it today, it will serve wonderfully in all the areas I mentioned, as well as an attractive decorative coffee table piece.

Beautiful

This is a gorgeous book. Beautiful pictures and pleasing art. I enjoyed reading it very much. However, I wish I knew how to pronounce some of those mantras. I worry I am doing them all wrong. A pronunciation guide would have been helpful.
