 DESCRIPTION
spacer
The rich Buddhist heritage of Tibet is a revelation of the depths of transic meditations of great Masters which have been translated into the majestic abundance of visive symbols. These symbols take the form either of images or of thanka scrolls painted on linen as well as on silk. To afford an identity to the astonishing world of beauty, it becomes imperative to bring out a complete pantheon of Tibetan deities. In the present work, we have reproduced the pantheon of 500 deities and teachers, besides four others. The outstanding deities of the Lamiast Pantheon have been studied in the learned works of modern scholars. Pander, Oldenburg and Clark have published three autocthon iconographic collections which have proved to be of importance in identifying deities of the enormous pantheon of Tibetan Buddhism. Besides the above three pantheons, we have the Rin-hbyun which has come to be well known in research works as the five hundred Gods of Nathang. It has been a major source for the iconographic studies of A. Gruwedel and F.D. Lessing. Isolated pictures have been published by them. In the present work, we have reproduced this pantheon of 500 deities and teachers, besides four others. The vast iconographic material preserved in Tibet is thus made accessible to modern scholarship. The present work is a sine qua non for Buddhist studies Tibetology, Mongolistics, history of art, Indian art and so on.
