Synopsis:
A new revised edition of this beautiful visual guide to the Kalachakra tantra and the artistry involved in the making of the sand mandala.
According to the monks of Namgyal monastery who create it, the Kalachakra Sand Mandala, also known as the Wheel of Time, imparts peace and healing to all beings and to the planet. Remarkable not only for its stunning beauty but also for the intricate process of its construction - a delicate sifting of coloured sands into elaborate patterns and symbols rich in meaning - the mandala serves as a visual scripture and vital key to understanding the essential teachings of Tibetan Buddhism. This lavishly illustrated volume captures each stage of the mandala's construction, the serenity and painstaking discipline of the monks, and the fascinating history behind its symbolism.
"Anyone awed by those unbelievably complex Tibetan sand mandalas can at last get close to this spiritual map." New York Magazine.
"This book brings a crystal clarity to one of the most profound rituals of Tibetan Buddhism. Bryant has produced a gorgeous, powerful and thorough guide to everything about the Kalachakra, from the technical details of the mandala's architecture to the deep spiritual meanings it embodies." Daniel Goleman. |
