DESCRIPTION
Buddhism and its arts have existed for more than 2500 years, weaving their way with monks and pilgrims through board areas of the Asian continent and across seas, mingling with the arts and styles of indigenous cultures. This book explores the complex imagery and teachings of buddhism whose iconography and symbolism can often seem as challenging as the search for enlightenment itself.
