Images of Buddha - delightful and thought provoking
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 18 years ago
I had been looking for a book with just images of the Buddha for awhile, when I came across the 'Buddha Book'. It's exactly what I wanted. Full of interesting photos depicting the Buddha in varied ways, mediums, and locations. From statues in Asia, Tibetan tangkas, modern-day sculptures, installations, paintings, to digital/computer generated images. Both contemplative and thought provoking, this delightful book might also at times put a smile on your face.
Great!!!!!

This book is great, with art for Jack Kerouac and Allen Ginsberg to photos of the Loshan Buddha and a great photo of a Buddha surounded by skulls in Kampuchia.
