Swayambhunath A Sanctuary Of Buddha – Bob Gibbons, Sian Pritchard Jones

Swayambhunath is the most famous image of all Nepal; the tall white stupa gilded with gold, its eyes surveying every corner of the valley. Bathed in the dewy morning light, the shrine radiates a mysterious quality, a place of enchantment beyond the real world. Swayambhunath is a mysterious place, a vision veiled in a mystical tantric cloak.
But why is it there, and what is its significance? For answers we must turn to legend.
This book is a practical guide with sections on history, legends, festivals, religion, monasteries, Buddhism and Tantra, as well as a suggested route around the monument.
