Product Description

Product Description
Lavishly illustrated with full-colour photographs, this book is a pictorial that explores the spread of Buddhism and stupa building across Asia and India. Attempts to encapsulate the durable appeal of the stupa - one of the oldest religious symbols still in use - collide with the vast and varied history of stupa building.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great photobook on Buddhist places, 5 May 2004
I have travelled around Asia myself and visited many of the places that are described in the book. The Buddhist places are sometimes very decorated and well captured, and sometimes only preserved as ruins.

Lonely Planet has managed to capture and interesting subject and done a very good work on describing the facts behind these wounderful places. The pictures (many taken by their house-photographer Richard I`Anson) are world class and transfers the right feeling to you as a reader and viewer.

If you are either interested in Buddhism, travel or photography this is a great book for you. Buy it and read it to get inspired. The places are phantastic to visit!
