Product Description
A book to contemplate each day, Offerings is a deeply thoughtful collection of wisdom and knowledge from the masters of Tibetan Buddhism. Three-hundred sixty-five photographs by Olivier Foellmi present an evocative new image every day-each accompanied by a choice Buddhist quote. This spiritual advice, which is suited to people of any belief or religious tradition, is organized into 52 themes, including spirituality, ancestors, money, trust, and dependence. Danielle and Olivier Foellmi share a message of peace and hope in this new book. Through subjects that preoccupy us today, the masters of Tibetan Buddhist thought-including His Holiness the Dalai Lama, Kalu Rinpoche, Chogyam Trungpa, Shabkar, Jack Kornfield, and Arnaud Desjardins-convey to us their vision of existence. Their collective and individual vision celebrates humanity and encourages continual self-improvement.

A world of compassion November 28, 2003

I love this book. It was recently given to me as a birthday present and has become a way for me to reflect and start my day. Every morning I sit and open the page related to the same day. The photographs are stunning and although the book is heavy, the format makes it different, unforgettable among other books by its shape and beautiful cover photograph.
If you are one who believes in compassion, kindness and truthfulness about oneself's divine nature, then this book is for you. Enjoy!

I was given this book as a Christmas gift (turns out Santa does leave presents under the Bodhi tree ^^) from a family friend and I simply adore it. The quality of the book is great, it is very sturdy, printed on high quality paper; the photographs contained inside are simply beautiful, and the quotes are inspiring and insightful. A wonderful book, I'm very glad to have gotten it.
Today's quote:
"Remember these teachings, remember the clear light, the pure bright shining white light of your own nature. It is deathless."

The photography in the book is beautiful. It captures the essence of life in the faces of the people and in the landscape of the country. The photos are the heart of the book. The daily inspirations are like hands guiding you towards an inner happiness and peace - leading you towards buddahood. The words are the soul of the book.

amazing photography matched with buddhist quotes both modern and ancient. This book guides you through 365 days - taking seasons into account -- each quote seems to build on the one before. An rewarding journey. It sits on my alter like it's own art gallery, and has made my morning medition an absolute delight.
