Symboles du bouddhisme tibetain
Work detail
This volume introduces the visual vocabulary of Tibetan Buddhism, explaining how sacred images and ritual signs carry doctrinal, devotional, and cultural meanings. Focusing on the symbols associated with Tibetan Buddhist traditions, it helps readers understand the forms they encounter in temples, paintings, sculptures, and ritual objects, including mandalas, hand gestures, sacred implements, auspicious emblems, colors, and iconographic details. Rather than treating these elements as decoration alone, the work situates them within the religious world from which they emerge, connecting image and practice in a way that is accessible to general readers while remaining useful for anyone interested in Himalayan art or Buddhist culture.
