Su questo libro

Recensione:

"A true treasure to study and cherish, The Buddha Scroll is a reproduction of an eighteenth-century Chinese Buddhist scroll, itself a reproduction of an original scroll created in the twelfth century. Thomas Cleary provides an introduction and a key to the 36-foot-long accordion-folded scroll, describing the myriad Buddhas, bodhisattvas, deities, monks, and other luminaries depicted in the painting. The scroll is a fascinating and inspiring glimpse of the extravagant world of ancient Chinese Buddhism." —Tricycle: The Buddhist Review
