Enlightenment is not a complicated and elitist club from which some are excluded. In fact, despite working perfectly well for some, there are many enlightened minds who never even attempted sitting in lotus position or chantin a mantra. Anyone who is willing to open their mind is free to pursue enlightenment. This collection of inspirational thoughts may be the beginning of your journey. The intricate oriental design work on the jackets is enhanced by a translucent cover sheet, giving the book an irresistibly high quality look and feel. Each page is illustrated with beautiful original artwork by Robert Beer, who has studied and practised Tibetan art for more than thirty years and whose work has appeared in many books.
