Description

Buddha: A Graphic Guide explores the life and teachings of the Buddha, revealing that enlightenment is a matter of experiencing truth individually. This book illustrates the process through a rich legacy of stories, explaining meditation practices and their connections to Taoism and Zen. Superbly illustrated by Borin Van Loon, Introducing Buddha delves into the complex non-theistic religion's history, weaving it into Asian civilisations from India to Japan and beyond. The book sheds light on Buddhism's role in modern Asia and its growing influence on Western thought. Through a unique blend of stories, practices, and insights, this graphic guide offers a fresh perspective on one of the world's most fascinating religions.
