Editor's Note:
You'd be hard-pressed to find a better short introduction to the variety of Eastern religions than The Sacred East. Four university professors team up to pen overviews of their specialties--Buddhism, Hinduism, Confucianism, Taoism, Shintoism--in that rarest of academic commodities: straightforward, understandable English. Not your average essay-length entries, each religion is divided into topical segments, lavishly illustrated. For instance, the section on Taoism has bits on the philosophers Lao Zi and Zhuang Zi but also on the Seven Sages, alchemy, the development of Taoist sects, Taoist temples, the priesthood, the pantheon, and the immortals. Also included are piles of illustrations, such as a two-page spread of Confucian chops, depictions of the Zen rock garden, a map of sacred Taoist mountains, and a birds-eye shot of the mandala-shaped temple at Borobudur. You won't find subtle philosophical insights here, but you will find well-told stories and fascinating asides, such as a short take on the Shinto shrine virgins and another on the Hindu festival of lights. So dip into The Sacred East, where wisdom and beauty await. --Brian Bruya
