reviewed The Sacred Koyasan: A Pilgrimage to the Mountain Temple of Saint Kobo Daishi and the Great Sun Buddha on February 10, 2015
The Sacred Koyasan
This book read too much like a text book. Im not a big fan of The Complete Idiot's guide series because theres SO much information but if you are an idiot, they should make it easy to understand. I almost put the book down half way through the part on hinduism because it was all over the place and just too much. I wouldnt recommend this to someone inerested in eastern philosophy unless they are going to skim through. The things to remember at the end of the chapters were good but some chapters were so jam packed that even just skimming those would not give you a good understanding of each chapter.
