The Sacred Mountains of Asia
John Einarsen
The sacred mountain is a symbol revered by people in every ethnic and religious tradition of Asia, from India to Japanwhether seen as the abode of the ancestors, a destination of pilgrimage, a pillar holding up the sky, a personification of the god Shiva, or a model of the entire cosmos. The twenty-nine pieces presented here celebrate the sacred peaks through prose, poetry, travelogue, historical and spiritual texts, art, and photographs.
