I love this book. It was recently given to me as a birthday present and has become a way for me to reflect and start my day. Every morning I sit and open the page related to the same day. The photographs are stunning and although the book is heavy, the format makes it different, unforgettable among other books by its shape and beautiful cover photograph.
If you are one who believes in compassion, kindness and truthfulness about oneself's divine nature, then this book is for you. Enjoy!

I was given this book as a Christmas gift (turns out Santa does leave presents under the Bodhi tree ^^) from a family friend and I simply adore it. The quality of the book is great, it is very sturdy, printed on high quality paper; the photographs contained inside are simply beautiful, and the quotes are inspiring and insightful. A wonderful book, I'm very glad to have gotten it.

Today's quote:
"Remember these teachings, remember the clear light, the pure bright shining white light of your own nature. It is deathless."

The photography in the book is beautiful. It captures the essence of life in the faces of the people and in the landscape of the country. The photos are the heart of the book. The daily inspirations are like hands guiding you towards an inner happiness and peace - leading you towards buddahood. The words are the soul of the book.

amazing photography matched with buddhist quotes both modern and ancient. This book guides you through 365 days - taking seasons into account -- each quote seems to build on the one before. An rewarding journey. It sits on my alter like it's own art gallery, and has made my morning medition an absolute delight.

This is a book to read every day for many years. It's a treat every morning to look at a breathtaking picture of Tibet and read a wise saying by Buddhist masters. The photographs create a sense of infinite Himalayan grandeur of that stark and gorgeous terrain of rock, snow and beautiful people --the young and the old and always with a twinkle in their eyes , awakening wonder in me of a world so harsh in many ways but with inspired people with an active worship. Great book with a page to turn every day of the year and I am on my second year. I have given it to many friends whether they are Buddhists or not and they find it special and enduring in its beauty and wisdom. .

I reference this book when I need an inspiring quote, or a reminder on how to be a better behaved human being. It is full of rich wisdom and beautiful pictures.

I was given this book as a gift by a friend and enjoyed it so thoroughly that the next step was to purchase the book for other friends.

I gave these sealed as holiday presents because I love this book. The photographs are amazing and the wisdom is wonderful and timely.

A deeply thoughtful collection of wisdom. Beautiful photographs accompany each daily entry. All about the spiritual and transitory nature of the human condition. A spectacular collection of photos and guidelines. Totally unique. By far and away one of my favorite books.

Such a beautiful book. Inspiring and the photos are fabulous. I bought this for my mother for Christmas and I would love to buy one for myself. Great to start your day with a meditation from this book.
