SUMMARY OR ABSTRACT
Text of Note
"Like an illuminated manuscript, this extraordinarily beautiful book is both an exquisite art-work in itself and an object of profound meditation. It is based on a revered collection, long considered lost, of three-hundred-year-old Tibetan thangkas: elaborate paintings that portray a philosophy of healing based on Buddhist beliefs, Ayurvedic practices, and ancient shamanic traditions - works that still have much to teach us today. Rendered by Nepal's foremost traditional artist, Romio Shrestha, using the age-old technique of painting with rich minerals such as gold, lapis, and garnet, these breathtakingly complex and brilliant works reward the minutest contemplation." "This important book is also a practical guide to our search for physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being. Tibetan scholar Ian Baker guides us through the paintings, unfolding their invaluable secrets about the remedy and prevention of myriad illnesses. With insights into such "contemporary" ailments as stress, allergies, and heart disease, and illuminated chapters on sexual alchemy, rejuvenation, and Tantric yoga, this book offers an inspirational revisioning of conventional attitudes toward health care, disease, and healing." "The Tibetan Art of Healing is an unprecedented journey into health and transformation, an astonishing volume as timely and revolutionary as it is sumptuous and exuberant."--Jacket.
