The book is aimed at a wide readership, it is written in a clear and understandable way. It includes a variety of colored pictures and detailed descriptions of all images. The introduction gives a broad review of the Buddhist teaching and of the symbolism of Buddhist statues, accessible for both Buddhists and non-Buddhists. The album also contains unique and rare information about different styles in Buddhist art and its spread in different countries; about the process of statue production; about Buddhist symbolism and about the meaning of Buddha-aspects and ritual objects. © Russian Buddhist Association of the Karma Kagyu school 2009 |
