Andy Weber spent seven years in India and Nepal studying the iconographic art of Tibetan Buddhism, and his work has appeared throughout the world in numerous exhibitions and Buddhist publications. He lives in London, England.
"What delight these two must have had collaborating on this
interesting guide to the inner world of Tibetan Buddhist sacred
art. Writer Landaw and artist Weber answer those questions many
people ask: Who are the figures in those thangkas, and what do they
represent? The thirty-two color plates, many of them painted by
Weber, could safely be said to be broadly applicable to Tibetan
Buddhist art as a whole. And Tibetan art is indeed a potent
introduction to Tibetan Buddhism itself."—Mandala Magazine
"A concise introduction to the fundamental points of tantric
Buddhism as practiced in the Tibetan traditions."—The Mirror
"A clear and straightforward guide to the inner world of this
sacred art."—Napra Trade Journal
"Besides the thirty-two full-color plates of images from Shakyamuni
Buddha to Amitabha, there are also thirteen line drawings of
arahats, great mahasiddhas, and pioneers of Tibetan Buddhism such
as Tilopa, Atisha, and Tsongkhapa. The texts are well-written and
describe the symbolic self-transformation and expressions of
enlightenment depicted. . . . An excellent text for students,
scholars, and practitioners of Tibetan Buddhism."—Eastern Horizon
