4.0 out of 5 stars
Look at those pretty pictures!,
By DJMom (California, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Buddhist Symbolism in Tibetan Thangkas (Paperback)
As a wanna-be buddhist, I have problems trying to relate to the truly arcane world of Tibetan Buddhism. This book has allowed me to better appreciate the imagery used in meditation and teachings you may encounter. This is definately not a book for people are not already familiar with buddhism and its terminology and background. It is not comprehensive and will serve as a primer for further studies into the imagery of buddhism. One more quirk is that the book likes to refer to pictures which are not on the opposing pages, which makes for minor irritation in flipping the pages along. Of course, if you truly are a buddhist, it wouldn't matter that much right?

This review is from: Buddhist Symbolism in Tibetan Thangkas (Paperback)
this book is a very good and comprehensive document of reference to who ever starts to study on buddhist art.
after having many times in China and collected some artifacts on buddhism from tibet I was willing to understand the signification of some tankas. this book could clearly illuminate me . a clear recommandation to whoever starts in this art and science |
