Summary

"Mayumi Oda is a ground-breaking Buddhist teacher, painter, and activist who doesn't separate her art, activism, and Buddhist practice. Born in Tokyo in 1941 to a creative, sophisticated family steeped in art and Buddhism, Mayumi has been an artist her entire life. Here she presents her life story and beautiful thanka paintings of the religious deities that have guided her along the way. With narrative's showing the profound insight that inspired each step along the way, this is a glimpse into the life of an artist, an activist, and a practitioner traveling on the path to awakening"--, Provided by publisher
