Book Reviews of Offerings: Buddhist Wisdom for Every Day (Offerings for Humanity)

Book Review: A moving set of daily meditations.
Summary: 5 Stars

I have bought about 24 of these, so far, as individual and very personal gifts for people who are meaningful to me. Most of them are also using the book daily as a reminder that all is not about fighting the beast, or an amusing little wine. For me it helps to soften anger, widen the space for grieving, open the space for joy -- mostly remind me that this moment, right now, is precious and I should enjoy it and then get over it. I treasure it. it sits in front of my microwave -- now there's a paradox -- and sets in in a more forgiving, less harried or anxious place as I begin each day. I have been especially touched by the value placed on it this past year by a friend who has recently died, and who also used it daily. A treasure. And one to use again each year.

Summary of Offerings: Buddhist Wisdom for Every Day (Offerings for Humanity)

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 Föllmi 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 Föllmi 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.
