Sacred Island
This
travel and pilgrimage guidebook is meant primarily for Buddhists or
those interested in Buddhism, who wish to explore Sri Lanka's rich
cultural and spiritual heritage. Drawing on his extensive knowledge of
the island, Venerable Dhammika weaves together archaeological findings,
art history and the stories and legends of the Buddhist tradition to
bring to life thirty three places of religious significance. He also
offers practical advice on how to travel in Sri Lanka and what the
visitor can do to learn more about Buddhism and meditation. Besides
lively descriptions, this book also contains detailed maps,
illustrations as well as colour pictures of the sacred sites, making it
interesting reading too for those who can't visit the sites themselves. |
