This website features a significant new book called "Discovering Tibetan Buddhist Art" by Dr Alain Presencer, a leading world authority on Tibetan Art & Tibetan Buddhism.

The book offers a wonderful insight into Tibetan Buddhism, art & culture. There is information on Tibet & its history, Buddha & Buddhism as practised in Tibet, the Wheel of life, Sky Burials, Lamas & life in the monasteries and much, much more.

What makes the book unprecedented though is, the exceptionally rare photographs of Tibetan Art & Artifacts exquisitely photographed and never seen before. There is also a superb glossary where simple & direct explanations of common terminology are offered in Sanskrit, Tibetan & English. 

It is a book for scholars as well as beginners who are interested in the field of Tibetan Buddhist Art.  The website includes a photo-gallery of Tibet and the Tibetan people which you are now invited to view.

Dr Alain Presencer's work is dedicated to the people of Tibet & is non-profit making.
