Book Synopsis Symbolism in Tibetan Buddhist Art by : Dave Glantz
Download or read book Symbolism in Tibetan Buddhist Art written by Dave Glantz and published by . This book was released on 2018-11-17 with total page 108 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This exploration and explanation of Tibetan Buddhist symbols uses full color images of the actual art work painted over the centuries in Tibet. By using the actual art work the context is kept and expounded on so the reader can fully appreciate the depth of meaning, for example, that an object surrounded by flames and kusha grass set in the Mahamudra Mists conveys. Explanations are offered into the various layers of those meanings and how they can be applied by any person seeking truth and self-awareness on the path to enlightenment. This leads to a powerful multilayered message and instruction that the viewer and reader can apply to their own journey. The actual teachings of Buddha are used to explain the Path to Awareness along with commentary. ~~~ We have ventured into the wisdom secrets of the esoteric world of tantric Tibetan Buddhism, providing in-depth explanations along with translations of the originating texts from noted teachers such as Tilopa, Milarepa, and Naropa among others. Along the way we provide context to the symbols, so when symbols have divergent meanings the viewer can determine which meaning applies to that particular depiction.~~~For example, delving into a seemingly simple depictions of cinnabar, showing how it is used to connect to the mind-stream, through both the use of cinnabar and the thought process shown in the multilayered context of actual Tibetan art. How to apply it to help focus meditation and access primordial wisdom and additionally, cinnabar is recommended by Buddha for use to access that supernormal wisdom. ~~~Another example would be the yin-yang symbol: what does it have to do with the Dharma Wheel and the Eightfold Noble Path? We show the relationships provided by context in ways no other book has explored.

Book excerpt: Philosophy or religion, way of life or way of being, Buddhism never ceases to intrigue. Its many aspects bear witness to the diversity of its paths, and its innumerable aspects can disorient the newcomer. Its essence is simple, however, a deep root common to all those searching for knowledge: a man, anchored in a moment of history, who awakened to affirm that it's within everyone's power to attain wisdom. The renewed interest that Buddhism has enjoyed over the past years, led by its spiritual and temporal guide the Dalai Lama, has made it possible to approach the meaning and origins of his teaching. 60 b/w photographs
