Description

PORTRAITS OF THE MASTERS: Bronze Sculptures of the Tibetan Buddhist Lineages Oliver Hoare/Serindia 1st edition 2003 large ad Lavish hardcover in original dust wrapper with 396 pages. Definitive text by Donald Dinwiddle, Ramon N, Prats, Peter Alan Roberts, Cyrus Stearns and Tenzin Dechen Rochard. A totally lavish title, profusely illustrated in colour. Tibetan Vajrayana Buddhism is part of human civilisation's cultural landscape with a universal appeal. Over fourteen centuries of great teachers and visionaries formulated and expounded the system of thought which now seems the most cotemporary of the world religions. This title showcases 108 portrait bronzes of the great masters of Tibetan Buddhist traditions with teaching lineages based on the illustrations of the collection. The bronzes are from the 12th to the 18th centuries. A fabulous book in great condition. Thanks for looking.
