1: Beautiful Mantras and Meditations
I love this book! I was looking forever for a book with mantras in it and this one really delivered. I keep it with my altar and use it regularly in my meditation practice. It's instructions on the rituals and meditations are really clear and it is beautifully illustrated. This book had totally blessed me!

2: Good for beginners, intermediate and non-Buddhists
This book pulled it all together for me. I found it more easily absorbable then the class of Buddhism that I took in college. One doesn't have to be a sole practicing Buddhist to enjoy the rich variety of all the different Buddhas depicted in this book, for me, I am a Gnostic Hindu at first, and I found myself meditating on the beautiful artwork that is depicted in this book and manifesting the energies the Buddhas continuously give to us who are open to the energy. Such a valuable book that can be used as powerful as any Bible, or Koran.

3: Visually Stunning
As the previous reviewer commented, this book is powerfully visual; filled with gorgeous imagery of various depictions of the Buddha and photography of young monks holding candles. Intermingled in this is a pretty good introduction into Tibetan Buddhism, wisdom applicable to your life is found herein on every page. Lillian Too's approach is simultaneously open and honest. So, if you are looking for a book of masterful art, here is your book. If you are looking for a daily devotional, here is your book. If you are looking for a brief autobiography of a typical layperson practicing the Buddha's Dharma, this is your book. It's truly fairly all encompassing. Grab it today, it will serve wonderfully in all the areas I mentioned, as well as an attractive decorative coffee table piece.

4: Beautiful
This is a gorgeous book. Beautiful pictures and pleasing art. I enjoyed reading it very much. However, I wish I knew how to pronounce some of those mantras. I worry I am doing them all wrong. A pronunciation guide would have been helpful.
