Robert Beer has studied and practiced Tibetan thangka painting for thirty years, including five years of study with master artists Jampa of Dharamsala and Khamtrül Rinpoche of Tashijong. Beer is one of the first Westerners to become actively involved in this art form. Over the last two decades he has concentrated on an extensive series of iconographical drawings depicting the major deities, lineage holders, and symbols that occur in the spectrum of Tibetan art.
The Handbook of Tibetan Buddhist Symbols is a portal into the rich, multifaceted, and profound symbolism of Tibetan sacred art. Robert Beer provides a deep and encompassing insight into the vast array of symbols and attributes that appear within the complex iconography of Tibetan Buddhism. The succinct descriptions that accompany his detailed line drawings reveal the origins, meanings, and functions of these symbols. Beer unravels the multiple layers of symbolism and meaning contained within the iconography, affording the reader a panoramic vision into the deeper dimensions of this sacred art.
Drawn largely from Beer's monumental work The Encyclopedia of Tibetan Symbols and Motifs, the meticulous brush drawings in this book depict all of the major Buddhist symbols and motifs, including the various groups of auspicious symbols; cosmological symbols; natural and mythical animals, such as the dragon, garuda, and makara; the entire assembly of ritual tantric implements and weapons; magical and wrathful symbols; handheld emblems, attributes, and plants; esoteric Vajrayana offerings; and mudras, or ritual hand gestures.

评分我是去年年底在王府井饭店开会,午休的时候到对面的涵芬楼书店去逛,发现这本书的。买来很久,还带去了三亚,也没看多少。昨天晚上清理“未读”的书,一口气读了三分之一,今天上班的时候接着读,刚才终于读完了。匆匆扫了一遍,似懂非懂吧。但慢慢读细细读也未必真懂。重要的...
评分佛法可以总结成一个“空”字,但它的象征符号可能多少字都讲不清,不同的宗派不同,不同的渊源不同,不同的国家不同。 这一本确实条理分明、图例清晰,是很好的工具书。 1、在早期的印度佛教中,佛像被画成非偶像或无形的,通常用华盖和菩提树下的空宝座或带有其神刻足迹的石刻...
评分这本非常不错,主要是对插图绘制的漂亮,老外干活细致。 对法器的描述分类都很好,可以当工具书用了。 出书比较认真。中间有一些故事,觉得很好。 作为研究学习藏传知识的朋友,很有帮助,现在买本好书不容易,系统的更不容易,价格虚高,滥竽充数的有很多。
评分如果对佛教完全不懂的话其实看看里面作者一点点画出来的线条简单明快的素描也真的很不错.看这本书比空空地去读一些单纯的文字介绍类的书籍要来得有趣的多,另外去博物馆看看一些文物的实际样子也会很有帮助的.
