Symbols of Tibetan Buddhism showcases the many different levels and aspects of the dharma, encouraging readers to explore the faith with curiosity, reflection, and mutual respect. As part of Assouline’s Symbols of Religion Series, the richly illustrated volume highlights how significant these emblems have served to bridge the gap between the human and the divine.
Written by French journalist Claude B. Levenson, with atmospheric photography by Laziz Hamani, the title highlights the religion’s rich symbolism and its many layers of meaning, from the significance behind the prayer wheel to the sacred mantra, meditation, and more. Showcasing the diversity of its paths and its countless facets, which may baffle the neophyte, Symbols of Tibetan Buddhism reveals the essence: A man, Siddhartha Gautama, discovered that the attainment of wisdom was within the power of every individual. This metamorphosis demands reflection and time, determination and courage. It may take one lifetime or many, but it is possible.
