Introducing Buddha: a graphic guide

"Introducing Buddha" describes the life and teachings of the Buddha, but it also shows that enlightenment is a matter of experiencing the truth individually and by inspiration which is passed from teacher to student.

Superbly illustrated by Borin Van Loon, the book illuminates this process through a rich legacy of stories and explains the practices of meditation, Taoism and Zen.

It goes on to describe the role of Buddhism in modern Asia and its growing influence on Western thought.
