BUDDHIST SYMBOLISM IN TIBETAN THANGKAS

Rating:
Summary: Look at those pretty pictures!
Review: 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?
