Psychologist Marilyn Mason was far from being an outdoorswoman when she participated in her first rock climbing trip on Minnesota's north shore of Lake Superior. But beyond the exhilarating phsycal challenge, she discovered key elements of climbing that are essential in the challenges we all face everyday. Mason went on to climb majestic peaks in Tibet, Nepal, Tanzania, the Caucasus, and China, learning new and exciting life lessons each demanding step of the way. Including diary excerpts that dramatize her climbs, Mason shares her discoveries in the context of human relationships --work, love, family, friendships, and community. A dynamic and truly unique approach to personal development, in wich mountain climbing becomes a metaphor for inner growth, Seven Mountains is an inspiring adventure of both the body and spirit. This personal and illuminating book is for those eho have faced their own "mountains of the mind" and want to climb higher, and for all who seek a new way of addressing what matters most.

The glorious ninth-century Buddhist stupa of Borobudur -- the largest Buddhist monument in the world -- stands in the midst of the lush Kedu plain of Central Java in Indonesia, where it is visited annually by over a million people. Borobudur contains more than a thousand exquisitely carved relief panels extending along its many terraces for a total distance of more than a kilometer. These are arranged so as to take the visitor on a spiritual journey to enlightment, and one ascend the monument past scenes depicting the world of desire, the life story of Buddha, and the heroic deeds of other enlightened beings -- finally arriving at the great circular terraces at the top of the structure that symbolize the formless world of pure knowledge and perfection.
