Summary: A Beauty
Comment: The Buddha's message sends shivers down ancient spines, moving them towards a vast creativity spanning thousands of years. The supreme manifestations of that spiritual inspiration, statues and temples, found in sometimes remote parts of Asia, are energetically accessed and photographed with consummate skill, an unerring eye, and understanding. Glowing with a radiant cover, this is a compelling invitation to contemplate the spiritual essence within...the beating heart of Buddhism, speaking to our desire for a more compassionate and reverent existence. Can you tell I am quite taken with this beautiful chunk of a book? Whether or not you think of yourself as a Buddhist, a seeker, or even a spiritual person, you have to admire these incredible images and the spirit that infuses them.

Summary: Just Amazing
Comment: Like a precious stone. This book is small while its value is great. I suspect they made it that size to keep it very affordable and portable. After the first time I thumbed through it I already had a list of friends that I knew would love to have it. The translations of the verses from the Dhammapada are stunning. The wisdom deep and simple. One need not be Buddhist to feel the depth and draw from the wisdom.
But the real luster and light that make up the "facets" of this particular precious stone are the photographs of the Buddhas and Buddhists. The lengths that Ortner must have gone to, the rareness of the images (many of the Buddhas in this book are in places where very few outsiders are allowed to go and in places very difficult to get to) are a tribute--an offering if you will--to his own devotion toward achieving and sharing the incredible beauty he seems so greatly drawn to.
It is our good fortune that this book, filled with radiance and simplicity, is so affordable. Like the gift of prayer flags, both giver and receiver will feel blessed.
