A Guide to the Buddhas
by Vessantara
Why does Buddhism refer to so many Buddhas? Who are
they? What can they tell us about ourselves?
In this inspiringly
written book we meet the historical and archetypal Buddhas
who form part of the rich symbolism of Tibetan Buddhism.
This is an informative guide for those new to Buddhism
and a handy reference for more experienced practitioners.
Vessantara, with his 35 years of meditation experience,
combines the power of story telling with practical guidance
and succeeds in bringing the Buddhas and their visualization
practices to life.
As Buddhists over the centuries meditated
on the archetypal Buddha, more and more forms appeared.
They sprang up profusely, like wild flowers, in different
shapes and colours. They evolved. New varieties were
discovered. Eventually the Buddhist tradition was decorated
with a riot of colour and beauty.

Believe nothing merely because you have been told it... Do not believe what your teacher tells you merely out of respect for the teacher. But whatsoever, after due examination and analysis, you find to be kind, conducive to the good, the benefit, the welfare of all beings - that doctrine believe and cling to and take it as your guide.
The Buddha
