Thurman, one of the foremost Buddhist scholars in this country, presents some powerful visual illustration of the rituals which illustrate Tibetan Buddhism's philosophy. Combining images of sacred spaces with rich black and white and color shots, this visual feast accompanies strong descriptions of Buddhist thought. -- Midwest Book Review

This book really helps to explain a lot of the symbolism in Tibetan Buddhism.
The photos are beautiful and the descriptions clear.
The practices that have been included are very helpful as well.

A tourist's guide to Tibetan Buddhism

April 20, 1997

Format: Paperback

Even before the Dalai Lama won the Nobel Peace Prize in 1989, Westerners have looked upon Tibetan Buddhism as a source of timeless wisdom and inspiration. Unfortunately, many of us who participate in the practice of the religion find themselves as lost as a deer that stares with confusion into the headlights of an oncoming car. Robert Thurman has been through that already. In 1964, he became the first American to be ordained a Tibetan Buddhist monk, by the Dalai Lama no less! Four years later, he left that life to pursue an academic career; he now chairs the department of Religion at Columbia University. Having lived in both cultures, (not to mention the fact that he is literally a genius) qualifies him as our guide for this magical mystery tour. If you read this book, you will then recognize at least some of what is going on in any Tibetan Buddhist ritual or celebration which you will ever witness. As an added bonus, reading this book will give you gobs of insightful trivia for interesting dinner-table conversation. The pretty pictures make this a suitable coffee-table book for illiterates; this book has something for everyone

A Beautiful & Revealing Look Inside Tibetan Buddhism

June 9, 2013

Format: Paperback

Inside Tibetan Buddhism: Rituals and Symbols Revealed is a fantastic book that I have treasured for years. The pictures are amazing and Robert Thurman's text is pith and perfect. This is great book for anyone interested in Tibetan Buddhism and perfect for any Vajrayana Practitioner. The only complaint I have ever heard it that maybe the book reveals too much! It is a great gift and coffee table book and invaluable as a reference text for Tibetan Buddhist practices. Highly recommendable.

EXCELLENT

June 17, 2001

Format: Paperback

This is a hard to find book. If you can get your hands on a copy, you won't regret it! I LOVE THIS BOOK. Full of color illustrations, easy to follow text. Explains rituals and beliefs about Tibetan Buddhism. A must have, even for long time practioners. If not for anything, then for the wonderful photos. I would give more stars if I could.
