1.Richard Avedon: Photographs 1946-2004Richard Avedon: Photographs 1946-2004
from Louisiana Museum Of Modern Art
Price: $44.10

Customer Review:
..in the beginning, I think this is the best collection of Richard Avedon's artwork, but it's not. I would say this book is just a collection of kind of collection of photos for Identity card, over 60%. Be honest, I have over 80 photo books from different photographers, but obviously this is not my... more info

2.The Tibetan Book of the Dead (The Great Book of Natural Liberation Through Understanding in the Between)The Tibetan Book of the Dead (The Great Book of Natural Liberation Through Understanding in the Between)
from Bantam Books, Inc.
Price: $12.24

Customer Review:
Prof. Thurman's strength is that he combines academic skills with personal conviction about the truth of what he translates. Many scholars may scoff; many seekers may smile. The value of this formidable ninth-century "treasure-text" of considerably advanced instructions for the passage through the... more info

from Atria Books/Beyond Words
Price: $16.32

Customer Review:
Of course I am kidding, but not really. The Tibetan diaspora claims a higher moral approach politics. The Dalai Lama and his supporters say they are operating on the basis of compassion and nonviolence. It is one of the reasons why they feel they will achieve a restitution of the rights of the... more info

4.The Path to Tranquility: Daily MeditationsThe Path to Tranquility: Daily Meditations
from Simon & Schuster Audio
Price: $15.98

Customer Review:
I love that this CD recording of the Dalai Lama's quotes is broken down into 10-15 minute sets. Perfect timing for a short morning meditation or before bedtime relaxation. The readers have wonderfully soothing voices and the passages chosen are poignant, thought-provoking and spiritually uplifting.... more info

5.Inner RevolutionInner Revolution
from Riverhead Trade
Price: $10.20

Customer Review:
I loved this book and read it in one sitting on New Years. It is a wonderful combination of the story of a personal search, the central tenets of Buddhism, and a semi-objective religious and historical context for the development of Buddhism.
I have two criticisms of this book.
First, the... more info

8.Infinite Life: Awakening to Bliss WithinInfinite Life: Awakening to Bliss Within
from Riverhead Trade
Price: $10.88

Customer Review:
I wanted to like this book, but Thurman made it hard for me. He's a knowledgeable and astute writer, but I found his message a bit, well, evangelical for my taste, which is ironic considering this is a book about Buddhism. His obvious and strident dislike of America and capitalism is a big turn off.... more info

9.The Holy Teaching of VimalakirtiThe Holy Teaching of Vimalakirti
from Pennsylvania State University Press
Price: $18.00

Customer Review:
First of all, I agree with other reviewer's assertions that this is not a book for beginners. Without a basic understanding of foundational Buddhist thought and Buddhist cosmology, this book wouldn't make much sense. Vimalakirti is one of my favorite characters since he is a great example of how a... more info

10.Essential Tibetan BuddhismEssential Tibetan Buddhism
from HarperOne
Price: $10.17

Customer Review:
I never like to write a bad review, especially not when the author had displayed such a sincere effort to enlighten his audience. This book, however, I can't escape the inevitability of doing so; it was so very boring! I practice Zen, and admittedly am often turned off a bit by the hierarchy and... more info
