Über diesen Titel

Críticas

"American Buddhism has at last found its Thoreau, its rambling, loquacious poet-philosopher who can show us the deepest revelations of truth in the woods, rivers, and fields. This is an eloquent, joyous, and uplifting book, written with consummate skill..."--Bhikkhu Bodhi, editor and translator of The Middle Length Discourses of the Buddha

Reseña del editor

Landscapes of Wonder is a collection of eighteen literary essays on the philosophy and practices of Buddhism. Though not conceived of as an introduction to Buddhism so much as an application of its teachings to modern life, the book effectively summarizes most of the main areas of Buddhist teachings. In doing so, Bhikkhu Nyanasobhano takes one of the oldest traditions in Buddhism and presents it in its most natural setting: the natural world in which we live. In language that sings, former actor and playwright Bhikkhu Nyanasobhano communicates the essence of Buddhism in eighteen inspiring essays. His reflections will appeal not only to novice and seasoned practitioners but also to those simply waiting to stretch their spirits on this modern literary exploration of the Buddha's eternal truths.
