Buddhist Inspirations offers a beautiful illustrated distillation of Buddhist belief, practice and art. Generously furnished with superb photographs and specially commissioned artworks as well as enlightening quotations from the sacred texts, the book presents a fascinating kaleidoscope of all aspects of Buddhism, including Tantra, Zen and the Pure Land beliefs of Japan. The emphasis throughout is on the wisdom, healing power and beauty of Buddhism and on its abundant relevance to those in the West who seek an alternative to secular materialism.… (mere)
Beautiful book. I only wish it had more haiku. The prose parts were brief and interesting, but there sure were a lot of them. The Haiku book I got in my college days had a lot more haiku, although less prose and less bright color. I will put the books side by side.
Lots of photos, line drawings, sketches of objects and sacred places.
Bulk of text is engaging retelling of the main myths.
Book divided into six sections: The Indian World, Earthdivers and Creators, The Spiritual Cosmos, Keepers of Order, Web of Ceremony, Native American Legacy.

> Un livre très bien fait, qui contient les informations essentielles pour comprendre le bouddhisme, son histoire, ses différentes ramifications au cours des siècles et des pays. Il est en outre très bien illustré.
