| Note | Buddhist symbols in Tibetan culture : an investigation of the nine best-known groups of symbols . [Buddhistische Glückssymbole im tibetischen Kulturraum. English] / Loden Sherap Dagyab 扎雅·諾丹西繞, trans. Maurice Walshe. Foreword by Robert A. F. Thurman. German original published in 1992. Includes bibliographical references (pages 143-147). "The Queen's Earrings. The Fur-Bearing Fish. The Endless Knot. Tibetan Buddhism is filled with rich, colorful symbols. But what do they all mean?" "In this fascinating study, Dagyab Rinpoche not only explains the nine best-known groups of Tibetan Buddhist symbols, but also shows how they serve as bridges between our inner and outer worlds. As such, they can be used to point the way to ultimate reality, and to transmit a reservoir of deep knowledge formed over thousands of years."--Jacket.
