An extraordinary panorama of Tibetan religious thought, art and history.
In the heart of the medieval town of Gruyères, Switzerland, the Tibet Museum offers a rare opportunity to discover an endangered heritage through some 600 works. Founded in 2009 by collector Alain Bordier Insatiably fascinated by Buddhist art and Asian spiritualities, the museum presents a unique collection of Himalayan religious objects (Tibet, Nepal, Bhutan, India) collected over more than forty years.
Beyond the purely artistic aspect, this book gives us a glimpse of all the symbolism and spirituality that emerge from each work. The highlight of the book is the presentation of a previously unpublished illuminated manuscript retracing the life of Milarepa, an illustrious Tibetan yogi of the 11th century, whose analysis provides an introduction to the great Buddhist principles.
