TIBETAN BUDDHIST SYMBOLS Knowledge Cards

by Robert Beer

Tibetan Buddhism, with its vast pantheon of deities, presents a rich and often bewildering visionary world, one that is obviously infused with profound esoteric meaning and artistic and cultural allusion. This card set of 48 line drawings helps understand the complex imagery of Tibetan culture.

Robert Beer has studied and practiced Tibetan thangka painting for 35 years and is recognized as one of the world's leading experts. He illustrates and explains, through detailed line drawings and text, some of the core images such as the auspicious symbols and offerings, cosmological elements, mythical creatures, ritual implements and weapons, and hand gestures (mudras). The words and images are excerpted from Beer's Handbook of Tibetan Buddhist Symbols.
