NANCY WILSON ROSS - Hinduism, Buddhism, Zen. An Introduction to Their Meaning and Their Arts

London England, Faber & Faber, 1973. 1st Faber & Faber Edition, Binding: Softcover, Good. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall 0571101348 Softcover My reason for undertaking the writing of a book on Easten religions, designed for the general reader, was essentially a simple one. There has never been a time in world history when East-West relationships have been of such intense, immediate concern to all mankind. For hundreds of millions of Asians their religion - no matter what form it takes - is the most vital concern of their daily lives, very far indeed from a mere one-day-a-week observance. Yet is is undeniable that the average Westerner knows very little, if anything at all, about the powerful spiritual motivations, religious convictions and ways of worship of the people who live on the other side of the globe. Illustrated. Some underlining in pen on some of the pages. Very slight foxing to cover.
