Book Synopsis The Siddhivad Corpse Stories of Tibet by : Ryoshun Kajihama
Download or read book The Siddhivad Corpse Stories of Tibet written by Ryoshun Kajihama. This book was released on 2011-07-22. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a scholarly translation of twenty-six stories with an introduction story from a very old handwritten Tibetan book. All the stories are told by a Siddhivad corpse while being carried on the back of a Prince. 62 full page illustrations, 303 pages These Tibetan Ro Dung (corpse stories) have their roots in Indian Vetala (spirits inhabiting corpses) literature. They entered Tibet hundreds of years ago and are now the most famous literature in Tibet. All the stories (except the introduction story) are told by a Siddhivad (spirit in a corpse) while being carried on the back of a prince. If the prince speaks even one word, the Siddhivad would get out of the bag and fly away, forcing the prince to capture the Siddhivad again. During my many years of research, I have collected many Tibetan Ro Dung (corpse story) books and have divided them into two types. The first type are the U-Me (dBu med) books hand written in Tibet before 1959. This was the year the Dalai Lama and others escaped to India. The second type of corpse story books are the ones made by a printing press, they are also called, U-Chen, the same as the old woodblock prints. They are in the Tibetan language printed in China, Tibet and India. Today, many publishers are reprinting this second type, but they edit them into modern Tibetan script, so people can easily read them today. So, the first type of U-Me corpse stories are more valuable to Tibetan scholars. This book here that I translated is from the first type.

Book Synopsis Iconography of the Buddhist Sculpture of Orissa by : Thomas E. Donaldson
Download or read book Iconography of the Buddhist Sculpture of Orissa written by Thomas E. Donaldson. This book was released on 2001. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Present Book On The Iconography Of The Buddhist Sculpture Of Orissa Utilizes The Author'S Expertise Of Orissan Brahmanical Art To Develop A Similar Consistent And Reliable Iconographic And Stylistic Evolution For The Buddhist Arts Of Orissa And Its Adherence To, Or Deviation From, Surviving Textual Icono-Graphic Peculiarities. There Is Little Doubt That Orissa Played A Major Role In The Creation, Development And Dissemination Of Buddhist Doctrines And Concepts Throughout India And The Buddhist World, Particularly In Respect To Vajrayana Buddhism And The Iconography Of Sculptural Mandalas. Particular Emphasis In This Book Is Placed On The Reciprocal Influence Between Brahmanical And Buddhist Art In Orissa, Both Religions Expanding At The Same Time In Regard To The Proliferation Of Deities And Their Variant Forms, And Each Apparently Competing With The Other For Patronage And Converts.
