The various religions and spiritual paths of this world have inspired each other and exchanged great ideas. This has happened to a much greater degree than the media with their news of religious and cultural clashes would have us believe. Although this volume's main focus is on the path to enlightenment taught by the Buddha - the Buddhists' Noble Eightfold Path - it goes beyond his teachings and collects quotations of wisdom from other religions as well. Eight Steps to Happiness covers Wisdom, Consciousness, Compassion, Equanimity, Love, Impermanence, Mindfulness, and Meditation. With illustrations that inspire.

It all started with a letter from Ladakh: an old monk asked his friend Dieter Glogowski to locate the Golden Tara, the gilded statue of a goddess important in Tibetan Buddhism and which had been lost during the Chinese Cultural Revolution. Glogowski accepted the challenge and set off on an adventure that would take him from Tibet to Bhutan, Sikkim and Kailash. The long sojourn also became an inner journey. The author’s vivid account and fascinating photographs guide us on this exciting quest to uncover the secret of the Golden Tara.
