Summary: A well wriiten book by a devoted and follower of Kuan Yin
Comment: This book is one of my favorite books by John Blofeld. His devotion to Kuan Yin, excellent story telling ability, and lucid philosophical explanations make this a very readable book about Kuan Yin, Tara and Avalokiteshvara.

Topics covered include: Kuan Yin meditations / visualizations, history of Kuan Yin, Buddhist ontology of Kuan Yin (plus Tara and Avalokiteshvara), and many well written stories of Kuan Yin, Tara and her followers. Also, contains several pages of b/w pictures of buddhist statues and icons of these bodhisattvas. The pictures are of average quality technically, but otherwise are excellent examples of Kuan Yin and Tara. Many of the pictures I have not seen elsewhere.

John Blofeld strikes the perfect balance between philosophy, reason, mysticism and devotion. His understanding of Chinese language and culture and his life long study of Buddhism makes for a very informative and sincere book.
