Tibetan Buddhism is rich with figures that embody the teachings and history of this great tradition. This book pays homage to the bodhisattvas and buddhas, teachers, and deities within the Indo-Tibetan tradition, and the great range of practices, teachings, transmissions, and long retreats that many of these great masters undertook during the course of their lives. Engaging with the fifty illustrations here through coloring is an intimate and simple way to deepen one’s understanding of Buddhism and practice of mindfulness. The drawings—all meticulously painted by hand with a small sable brush—possess qualities that alternate between energizing and calming, and all relate to the state of being completely awakened. A concise description of every drawing introduces each figure and the important roles these great masters have fulfilled in the Buddhist tradition.
