Reseña del editor

In Buddhism every symbol has a meaning and this book explores the symbolism of the ritual objects that are used on statues and paintings as well as explaining the ritual meaning of the objects associated with Buddhism. Modern students who are drawn to the study and practice of Buddhism are not always able to easily learn the symbolic meaning of the various types of statuary connected to the study of this philosophy. This book serves as an introduction for Western students. It is not meant as a comprehensive and exhaustive study but provides an introduction to Buddhism itself as well as a generous survey of the most common figures and symbols. The author examines the Three Mysteries mudras asanas Manushri Buddhas Transcendental Buddhas Adibuddha Tara Manjushri and Avalokiteshvara. Also discussed are Yidams Gods and Goddesses dakinis and yoginis and the Laughing Buddha.
