Hundreds of the author's line drawings depict all the major Tibetan symbols and motifs including landscapes, deities, animals, plants, gurus, mudras, dragons, and other mythic creatures. Beer is one of the first Westerners to have thoroughly studied this art form-a total of 30 years practice in Thangka painting and five years of study with master artists Jampa of Dharamsala and Kamtrul Rinpoche of Tashijong. 400 pages.
