Copenhagen's Buddhas

When you step into the Copenhagen Buddhist Center for the first time, it is easy to feel astonished. When you first stand in front of the grandiose massif of bricks with the beautifully curved wooden doors, you have no idea of what awaits inside. In the hall you are met by a vision of a different world - strong colors and buddha forms that most people have never seen before. As you arch your head back, it is easy to get lost in the beautiful and richly detailed images. Illustrated with the magnificent murals, painted by great Thangka painting masters in the halls and the meditation room of the Buddhist Center in Copenhagen, this book makes the timeless wisdom behind the classic Buddhist paintings accessible.In our fast and modern Western world, this wisdom is maybe even more precious than it has ever been before.
