| Tibetan Buddhist Paintings Calendar, Wall, Pomegranate
Thangkas - devotional paintings once used as visual aids by itinerant teachers, now stationary subjects of meditation - reflect the flourishing and embellishment of Buddhism as practiced in the isolated Himalayas. Full of gods and monsters, mortals and animals, brahmas and boddhisattvas, redolent of the Buddha's ultimate compassion, the twelve thangkas reproduced here are as marvelous to the noninitiate for their color, symmetry, and imagery as to the practicing Buddhist for the symbology they relate. This 2006 Wall calendar was published by Pomegranate.
