Buddhism seeks a consciousness where the mind limits and isolates itself. Only through intense study and meditation can the individual break free from a suffering, ego-bound self to develop wisdom, compassion and happiness. Buddha The Intelligent Heart introduces the religion's lessons through the art, architecture, rituals, festivals and people that have been inspired by this ancient culture. Accompanied by beautiful illustrations, author Alistair Shearer's words reflect on how Buddhism can influence and re-spiritualize Western thinking. | Art And Imagination Series Buddha by Alistair Shearer, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
