THE TIBETAN ART OF HEALING, Ian baker, Paintings by Romio Shrestha, Timelss Books, New Delhi, 1997, 192 page large format softbound VG+, The most remarkable collection of Himalayan paintings you'll ever find, This book is based on a revered collection, long ago considered lost, of three-hundred-year-old Tibetan thangkas: elaborate paintings that portray a philosophy of healing based on Buddhist beliefs, Ayurvedic practices and ancient shamanic traditions. Rendered by Tibet's foremost traditional artist, Romio Shrestha, using the age-old techniques of painting with rich materials such as gold and lapis lazuli, these breathtaking works reward the minutest contemplation. The Tibetan Art of Healing is also a practical guide to our search for physical, emotional and spiritual well-being. With insights into such 'contemporary' ailments as stress, allergies and heart disease, and chapters devoted to aspects of sexual alchemy, rejuvenation and Tantric yoga, this wide-ranging study is an unprecendented journey into health and transformation, an astonishing volume as timely and revolutionary as it is sumptuous and exuberant. Based on a collection of Tibetan "thangkas" - scroll paintings portraying a Buddhist philosophy of healing - this volume presents works by a traditional artist using the ancient technique of painting with rich minerals. The Buddhist view of physiology, pathology, diagnosis and cure is illuminated. Ex libris John Nankervis - $80
