{"product_id":"atisha-shashi-bala-9788183284769","title":"Atisha: The Revered Monk Scholar","description":"Atisha: The Revered Monk Scholar is a journey into the history of cultural renaissance of Buddhism around a thousand years ago, when Atisha--a spiritually colossus monk--who held responsibilities of several monastic universities in India, crossed the Indian frontiers and undertook a challenging journey ready to sacrifice even his life. The canvass covers his life and legacy in India, Indonesia and Tibet; his journey from India to Indonesia, back home and then to Tibet via Nepal; his activities reviving Buddhism in Tibet when it was almost destroyed and the monks were in a state of utter confusion. It showcases some rare photos of places from his birthplace, which is now in Bangladesh to Nyetang, where he entered into final nirvana; the monasteries which are associated with his visits, stays, activities and where he preached--where his divine presence can still be felt. The book presents the distilled essence of his teachings and quotes from his texts that are perennial and pervasive.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Shashi Bala\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 8183284760\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9788183284769\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Wisdom Tree\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/18\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 80\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.10lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.30h x 7.90w x 0.60d","brand":"Shashi Bala","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43994755203327,"sku":"9788183284769","price":24.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_39b3f553-371c-42d0-b4a8-1ae82f590758.jpg?v=1683331997","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/atisha-shashi-bala-9788183284769","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
