The Egyptologist and lecturer for the British Museum and Victoria & Albert Museum Delia Pemberton has created a beautiful book on the treasures, wisdom and spirituality of Buddhism. Through carefully selected words and pictures she presents the fascinating events of his life, a summary of his teachings, the Cosmic Buddhas, paradise, the afterlife, and the future. Long popular among Western art lovers and collectors, these objects include lacquered wood figures from Japan, painted textiles from Tibet, a Buddhist Stupa in India, a limestone drum slab, gold reliquary set with garnets, huge statues, silk paintings and panels, a huge monk statue in the Prayer Hall in Rangoon, illuminated manuscripts, bronze figures from Java and stones inscribed with Buddhist mantras in Dharamsala, India. 'In the Pure Land, all material needs are met and conditions are perfect for receiving the Dharma teachings continually provided by the presiding Buddha. Those beings fortunate enough to be reborn into a Pure Land are thus guaranteed to attain Enlightenment in the future.' 47 colour illustrations, 96pp.
