Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
This is one book you can judge by it's cover. It is fabulous. The photos of Tibetan paintings and statuary are simply beautiful. In some cases, such as a Tibetan thangka painting of Shakyamuni buddha's life, the whole painting is shown first, then close-up shots of other parts of the painting are shown for a more detailed view. Scenes from the painting are then explained. Anyone who has tried to decipher the meaning in a thangka, knows that without the help of experts, it is nearly impossible to capture the true story. Marylin Rhie and Robert Thurman help unlock the mysteries in a book with stunning photography, history and artful explanations. If you are interested in Tibetan iconography, a collector, buddhist or an art student--BUY IT, you'll love it!

Beautiful, Informative and Excellent Price
14. November 2000
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
I wish I had seen the exhibition of which this beautiful book is the catalogue. It must have been breathtaking. This is more than a catalogue, it is a reference book, beginning with an overview and four informative introductory essays. The Catalogue itself is divided into twelve specific areas/types of Tibetan Sacred Art. These cover not only the different representations of the Shakyamuni Buddha, Arhats, Boddhisattvas and others, but also the four Tibetan Buddhist Orders. The Illustations are very clear and many detailed illusrtrations and graphs help to explain the Thangaks and Mandalas. The text is very informative, and the book is also printed and bound well.... A truly wonderful gift.

Wisdom and Compassion
26. November 2009
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe|Von Amazon bestätigter Kauf
Tibet's sacred art is a large, ancient and complex subject. Here, it is made invitingly comprehensible even to those unfamiliar with Buddhist thought and culture. With matchless insight and clarity, Wisdom and Compassion brings an understanding of Tibet's uniquely developed culture within our grasp. It is a book that astonishes, informs, and inspires.
