Description:Here presented for the first time in a beautifully illustrated format are the stories and practices of the great Siddhas -the magicians and saints who founded the lineages of the Tantric tradition. Extraordinary men and women who attained enlightenment and magical powers by disregarding convention and penetrating the core of life, the Mahasiddhas show us a way through human pain and suffering into a spontaneous and free state of oneness with the divine.The 32 full-color paintings in this book are the work of Robert Beer, whose own remarkable story is also told here. During the late 1960s and early 70s, he underwent a severe psychological trauma resulting in a five-year-long psychosis. It was only through complete absorption in the study of Tibetan thangka painting in India and Nepal -with Khamtrul Rinpoche, the greatest living thangka painter of his time, and with Jampa-la, the state painter of Tibet- that Beer was healed and brought out of his ordeal. His striking Western adaptation of this ancient religious art form is classical in many of its elements, but entirely visionary in expression. Its exceptional quality allows a direct experience of the power and vitality of the Masters of Enchantment.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
