| Abstract | Douglas used the same woodblocks used to print the popular spells, charms and amulets on cheap, hand-made paper and distributed widely in the Himalayan regions to deal with almost any real or imagined situation people might encounter. He describes each print and places it in historical and religious context. The 1978 edition was also published by Dover.
Vibrant products of Tibetan tantric Buddhism's rich tradition of spells, charms, amulets and talismans appear in this visually exciting and philosophically stimulating study. Most of these rare images--including prayer flags, good-luck banners, healing charms and more--are in the form of diagrams, meticulously reproduced from the original woodblocks. Introductory material supplies religious, philosophic, historic and artistic background and each illustration features a detailed commentary. |
