Download or read book The Accidental Buddhist written by Dinty W. Moore and published by Algonquin Books. This book was released on 1997-01-10 with total page 221 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: THE ACCIDENTAL BUDDHIST is the funny, provocative story of how Dinty Moore went looking for the faith he'd lost in what might seem the most unlikely of places: the ancient Eastern tradition of Buddhism. Moore demystifies and explains the contradictions and concepts of this most mystic-seeming of religious traditions. This plain-spoken, insightful look at the dharma in America will fascinate anyone curious about the wisdom of other cultures and other religions. "Sure of foot in complex terrain, and packing a blessedly down-to-earth sense of humor, Dinty Moore is the perfect scout for the new frontiers of American Buddhism."--Rodger Kamenetz, author of THE JEW IN THE LOTUS and STALKING ELIJAH.

Book excerpt: Now considered a classic among readers interested in Tibetan Buddhism and pilgrimages of the spirit of all kinds, A Journey in Ladakh is Andrew Harvey's spiritual travelogue of his arduous journey to one of the most remote parts of the world--the highest, least populated region in India, cut off by snow for six months each year. Buddhists have meditated in the mountains of Ladakh since three centuries before Christ, and it is there that the purest form of Tibetan Buddhism is still practiced today.

Download or read book Tibet written by John Stratton and published by Dundurn. This book was released on 1997-10-01 with total page 120 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This beautiful, large-format book seeks to show Tibet, its landscape, and the way of life of the people indigenous to it. Such has not always been the effect of the picture books that have appeared since Tibet opened up to the outside world around 1980. In many of these the Tibetans have been represented as anachronistic remnants of an obsolete exotic culture set amidst forbiddingly high snow-capped mountains, as if this alone had preserved their strange world. Tibet: Journey into a Still Land tries to show the Tibetans as very human people integrated with a very beautiful if in some ways harsh landscape. In taking these photographs, John Stratton had in mind the photographs that first stirred his interest in Tibet: those of Cutting, Dolan, and Ilia Tolstoy that appeared in National Geographic in the mid-1940s: pictures that make you want to look around in them not merely for a fanciful or oddly colourful world, but for a real people living in a real place, willing to shoulder hard work and even adversity, and able to experience real joy in their lives. The nobility of the earlier photographs was perhaps enhanced by the fact that they were in black and white. The stunning colour in the ninety-eight vivid scenes presented in this book is in harmony with the spirit of the earlier photographs. In the period when Stratton’s images were taken, Tibetans seemed visibly more optimistic than, perhaps, can be hoped for at the present.
