BUDDHIST SYMBOLISM IN TIBETAN THANGKAS

by Ben Meulenbeld

This sumptuously illustrated book is a guide to the meaning of Buddhist thangka painting. It begins with thangkas of the Buddha and his life and then moves on to many peaceful and wrathful deities, mahasiddhas, and mandalas. The author explains the symbolism, the ritual and the philosophic concepts that they represent.
