A S I A I N T R O D U C T I O N Asia is imbued with many relics of monuments planted in its soils. In all likelihood, our ancestors were aiming for heaven, the gods and the purification of the soul as they layed one brick on top of another, one piece of wood on another, building homages to eternity. The great works of man began with history, and his passion and energy to visualize his devotion show no change over the ages. Though temples, towns and pagodas may erode with the waves of time, the spirit will never be obliterated. The ruins presented here are the remains of monuments created in Asia. They show us the sincerity, devotion and echoes of the warmth of man's heart. There are a great many tales that lay hidden beneath their benign silence which man should hear. To allow the messages of our ancestors to be passed on to future generation, AsianSoft introduced the Asian Culture series programs not only to the Asian people but also to the interna- tional community.
