The Theory and Practice of the Mandala: with Special Reference to the Modern Psychology of the Unconscious(PB) | By Giuseppe Tucci (Author) | MLBD Publications

Special Reference to the Modern Psychology of the Unconscious(PB) By Giuseppe Tucci (Author) | MLBD Publications

This intriguing, thought-provoking study by one of the world’s leading authorities on the subject examines the basic doctrine behind the theory and practice of the Mandala in India and Tibet, by both Hindus and Buddhists.

“As a whole,” as the author says in his Preface, “the spiritual background is the same: the yearning to find out a way from time to eternity, to help the primeval consciousness… to recover its integrity.”

Individual chapters consider the doctrinal basis of the mandala, as a means of reintegration, its symbolism and various parts, the liturgy, and in the human body.

Of special interest to students of Eastern philosophy and art, this volume will also fascinate New Agers and anyone interested in the symbols and psychology of Asian cultures.
