The spiritual rewards and intellectual challenges of Eastern Philosophy
are revealed in this visually stunning book, illustrated by Joe Lee and
with 19th Century engravings.
Eastern Philosophy is not an intellectual pursuit, but one that involves
one's entire being. Much of it is so deeply entwined with the
non-intellectual art of meditation, that the two are impossible to
separate. In this accessible survey of the major philosophies of India,
China, Tibet, and Japan, Jim Powell draws upon his knowledge of Sanskrit
and Chinese, as well as decades of meditation. Whether tackling Buddha,
Confucius, Lao Tzu, Dogen, the Dali Lama or Pantajal - Powell's insights
are deeply illuminating. All the major philosophies of India, China,
Tibet and Japan are explained and everyone - from beginner to expert -
will find Eastern Philosophy For Beginners a beautiful and insightful
overview.
