Lokeswara Rao discusses his life and teachings through philatelic materials, including stamps & postcards
It’s no surprise that many stamps of M Lokeswara Rao are related to nature. As Nagaland’s former Principal Chief Conservator of Forest, he lived in the midst of wildlife. But about one-third of Mr. Rao’s stamp collection is on Buddhism. In his book,
Buddhism on Stamps, which was released on Thursday, he discusses the life and teachings of Buddha through 1,134 philatelic materials, including stamps and postcards.
