About the Author
Whitall N. Perry was an expert on comparative religions and studied with A. K. Coomaraswamy, Rene Guenon, Frithjof Schuon, and other gurus, including Native American sages. He was also a contributor to articles on metaphysical and cosmological subjects to academic journals. Huston Smith has taught at Washington University, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Syracuse University, and the University of California–Berkeley. He is internationally known for his bestselling book The World's Religions, the focus of a five-part PBS television series with Bill Moyers. He lives in Berkeley, California. Marco Pallis was an Englishman who studied under Tibetan lamas and was initiated into their order with the name Thubden Tendzinthe. He was the author of two popular books about Thailand, Peaks and Lamas and The Way and the Mountain, and was a friend of Thomas Merton.
Review
"This magnificent volume will provide a life-long companion for all who seek to grow in grace and truth. It will be turned to time and time again, not simply for 'quotes' but as a stimulus to thought, reflection, and faith." —Baptist Times
"Will not only enliven the study of religion on the academic levels, but also lead many individuals to a truer and more fruitful personal response to religion and spirituality. Indeed, few will be able to skim these pages without being drawn into their depths." —Studies in Comparative Religion
