About This Item
Berkeley and London: Shambhala Publications Inc, 1976. Hardcover. VG-/VG-. Shelf wear to dust jacket. Owner's sticker on ffep, otherwise clean and tight contents.. Red cloth with gilt lettering. Color-illustrated dust jacket with white lettering on spine. 228 pp. Filled with BW illustrations and color plates. "Well-known for its sublime and grotesque images, its psycho-sexual symbolism and psycho-cosmic diagrams, Tibetan sacred art is also a most eloquent expression of the Buddhist world view and a key element in the actual meditative practices of the Tantric Buddhist tradition. Using a marvelous collection of Tibetan art to illustrate his theme, Dr. Detlef Ingo Lauf, renowned German Tibetologist, presents this rich and complex tradition as it was understood by those who perpetuated it, the lamas of Tibet." -- dj flap.
