Images of Enlightenment: Tibetan Art in Practice Paperback
Images of Enlightenment: Tibetan Art in Practice Paperback – Illustrated, 8.5x5.5” 272pgs

Who are these figures, and what do they mean? Images of Enlightenment answers the need for a clear and straightforward guide to the inner world of Tibetan Buddhist sacred art. Focusing on some of its most important and representative images, this richly illustrated book introduces the reader to the tradition of spiritual self-transformation embodied by these depictions of enlightened energy through clear iconographic representations and descriptions
