Description
The SUMO-sized publication presents the most precious surviving wall paintings from Tibetan Buddhist culture. For the first time, these astonishing and intricate masterpieces can be appreciated in dazzling colour and natural resolution. Signed by His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama, the book is a revelation for scholars, lovers of Tibet, as well as practitioners of Buddhism, yoga, meditation, and mindfulness. This artistic edition includes a large-scale reproduction of a mural depicting Green Tara, limited to just 40 copies. Printed on plaster and hand-gilded with 23.75-carat gold, this piece evokes the overwhelming splendour of its centuries-old original. The result is breathtaking beauty and a truly immersive experience of world heritage sites preserved in our SUMO.
