註釋Mostly unknown to the outside world, the temples and storerooms of Tibet's monasteries shelter a great number of ancient Buddhist objects, including rare examples originating from India, Pakistan, Afghanistan, Nepal, Burma, and China. Hitherto books on this subject are almost exclusively illustrated with objects scattered worldwide in private or public collections. A notable exception is the monumental two-volume chronicle Buddhist Sculptures in Tibet, published in 2001 by this author. This book is a condensed edition introducing the very finest examples that illustrate the development of art in the round in Tibet. Effectively acting as a catalogue, it also serves to ensure the objects remain where they are. The free DVD contains 527 digital images that can be freely used. It is the hope of the author that other scholars will take use of this opportunity to publish some of these wonderful Buddhist sculptures.
