A GUIDE TO THE BUDDHAS

by Vessantara

This is an interesting guide and reference to the array of archetypal and historical Buddhas who form part of Buddhism's rich symbolism, covering topics ranging from the benefits of visualization to the five Buddha families. Well written and informative.

This is an informative guide for those new to Buddhism and a handy reference for more experienced practitioners. Vessantara, with his 35 years of meditation experience, combines the power of story telling with the practical guidance and succeeds in bringing the Buddhas and their visualization practices to life.

"As Buddhists over the centuries meditated on the archetypal Buddha, more and more forms appeared. They sprang up profusely, like wild flowers, in different shapes and colours. They evolved. New varieties were discovered. Eventually the Buddhist tradition was decorated with a riot of colour and beauty."--Vessantara
