Visual dharma : the Buddhist art of Tibet / Chögyam Trungpa, Rinpoche

Visual Dharma presents the tantric iconography of Tibetan Buddhism.  People have heard of the existence of tantra and have even encountered its visual expressions, but tantra has remained only vaguely understood.  By giving the straight-forward facts of the development and inspiration of Tibetan art, its methods and its social context, Visual Dharma dissipates the fog surrounding the tantric tradtion and leads to a perception of its genuine mystery.  The symbolism of tantra is drawn from the wisdom of the awakened state of mind.  The figures of its iconography are not deities in the ordinary sense, but aspects of transmuted ego
