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.

评分书中把里面一些象征符号和器物来源解释为女性的生殖器,感觉怪怪的,作者似乎言之成理,但是好像又有些牵强。

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。
评分对于尚不了解藏传佛教的人会认为藏传佛教只有班禅和达赖的一种派系。其实不是这样的。 藏传佛教因不同师承、不同修持教授、所据不同经典和对经典的不同理解等佛教内部因素和不同地域、不同施主等教外因素而形成众多派别 的,主要有宁玛派、噶当派、萨迦派、噶举派等前期四大...
