Visually Stunning,
By
This review is from: The Buddha Book: Buddhas, Blessings, Prayers and Rituals to Grant You Love, Wisdom, and Healing; Inspired by the Teachings of Lama Kyab (Hardcover)
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.

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.

Beautiful Mantras and Meditations,
By Stacey Kay Schwab "SSchwab" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Buddha Book: Buddhas, Blessings, Prayers, and Rituals to Grant You Love, Wisdom, and Healing (Hardcover)
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!
