A series of photographs evokes a spiritual and geographical journey, as Collins leads the reader into a world of contemplation and simplicity. The photographs are paired with short passages from sacred Buddhist texts that transform the intangible into the tangible.
Lyrical, evocative color landscapes, still lifes, and portraits invite the reader into a Buddhist world. To the Light opens with a photograph of a red-robed monk, profiled as he reads in the cameo of a monastery window. The journey continues with a series of photographs, evoking a spiritual as well as a geographical context. Gently, Sharon Collins's luminous and serene images lead the reader into a world of contemplation and simplicity. Seventy-four color photographs paired with short passages from sacred Buddhist texts transform the intangible into the tangible. This volume is far beyond a straightforward narrative of Buddhismit is an elegant exploration of Tibet, Nepal, China, Myanmar, Laos, and Vietnam by an expert photographer with an eye for images that depict the organic nature of Buddhism as a way of life. To the Light reaches out to those who practice Buddhism and those who are intrigued by it, actual and armchair travelers, and aficionados of fine photography. 74 color photographs.
