BUDDHAS OF THE CELESTIAL GALLERY

Deepak Chopra in his foreword writes, '2,500 years ago, the charismatic young prince who later became known as the Buddha, the Awakened One, left his home and inheritance to go forth into the world in search of a solution to the human predicament. His iconic journey changed the world forever, and many of his spiritual insights are being verified today in the fields of neuroscience, psychology and quantum physics. This volume, a collaboration between the celebrated Himalayan artist Romio Shrestha and Buddhist scholar Ian Baker, reveals the dazzling trajectory of Siddhartha Gautama's life and teachings and the power of art to awaken us to the realities that fervently require our collective attentions.' This beautiful large art book gathers striking Tibetan-style Mandala paintings from master painter Shrestha and his team of artisan monks, made from malachite, lapis lazuli and marigolds, and painted at times with three hairs of a cat's tail. In powerful haunting detail they invite readers to meditate on the Buddha's message of love, completion and connectedness. Chapters cover Quantum Wisdom, The Neurology of Love, The Art of Transformation and Vehicles of Becoming, The Light Within and Transcending and Enlightenment among them. Mostly full page exquisitely coloured and golden paintings on 64 huge pages, 25.4 x 36cm.
