OverviewFirst published a quarter of a century ago, Dietrich Seckel's essay remains a vital contribution to a much-debated feature of Buddhist art, its aniconism, its aversion to depicting spiritual entities of the very highest order. Unlike Judaism, early Christianity, and Islam, the Buddhist faith has not condemned the representation of holy beings or living creatures. Nonethless it believes that its most crucial spiritual insights lie beyond the power of human imagination to describe or depict. << 95 illustrations Full Product DetailsAuthor: Dietrich SeckelPublisher: Museum Rietberg, Switzerland Imprint: Museum Rietberg, Switzerland ISBN: 9783907077139ISBN 10: 390707713 Pages: 108 Publication Date: 20 July 2007 Audience: College/higher education , Postgraduate, Research & Scholarly Format: Paperback Publisher's Status: Active Availability: In Print  This item will be ordered in for you from one of our suppliers.
