DESCRIPTION:

Esoteric Buddhism, which originated in ancient India, was instroduced into Tibert in the seventh century. Since then, it has evolved in a different social and historical environment into a unique sect known as Tibetan Esoteric Buddhism. Regarded by the Tibetan Buddhists as "the essence of the sacred religion", it has a long tradition in Tibert and its influence on the culture, history and the life of the Tibetan people has been very strong. To gain a true understanding of Tibetan Esoteric Buddhism, one has to study not only its canonical texts, but its works of art related to the religious beliefs. These works, in the various forms and expressions, will bring one into visual contact with the religious order.

This study of Tibetan Buddhism includes 160 colours illustrations and photographs of Buddhist sites and the bronzes, murals, mandalas and other artefacts from the 1300 year-old heritage, which has evolved since Buddhism came from India. An overview history of Tibetan Esoteric Buddhism includes discussion of its doctrines and canonical texts and the significance of its art. Bronzes, cloth paintings, frescoes, clay objects are discussed and illustrated. The appendix includes a glossary, location lists and index.
