Buddhist ideals of enlightenment and the practice of meditation have caught the imagination of many in the western world. For this book, author Andrew Powell and photographer Graham Harrison have travelled throughout the Far East, visiting Buddhist communities in Sri Lanka, Thailand, Burma, India, Nepal, Tibet, China and Japan and have interviewed some of the religion's leading figures, including the Dalai Lama at his home in Dharamsala in the foothills of the Himalayas.
