Dharma Delight:
A Visionary Post Pop Comic Guide to Buddhism and Zen
by Rodney Alan Greenblat, Richard Thomas
128 Pages, Size 7.5" x 10"
Part graphic guide, part personal testimony, part art book, Dharma Delight
illustrates how seeking the path of compassion and acceptance can be as
zany and exuberant as it is profound. It is a happy exploration of
Buddhist Enlightenment--what it is, where to seek it--and how to
recognize the perfection in ourselves. A great option for Zen beginners
and experienced practitioners alike, sutras (teachings), Bodhisattvas
(enlightened beings) and jataka tales (parables) are presented in a way
that's simple, upbeat and fun to read.
The original
paintings--some new, some already known on the New York art scene and
elsewhere--are an imaginative and affirming mind's-eye view of Buddhist
teaching. Together, the words and illustrations are a warm and cheerful
invitation to newcomers and a cool splash of refreshment to any traveler
on the road to enlightenment.
