Orient -- Its Legacy to the West

This is a sympathetic and often fascinating view of contemporary and traditional customs, arts, architecture, philosophies, and spiritual leaders of the Orient. Often reading like a colourful travelogue, it has sections on India, China, Angkor Wat, Ceylon, Japan, Egypt, Tibet, and other Himalayan countries. The book emphasises that East and West can (and must) learn from and teach one another as we stumble toward global community. It includes notes on great teachers and schools of thought.
