The arts of Tibet are closely tied to Tibetan Buddhism, which is sometimes called Lama Buddhism (Lamas are high-ranking Tibetan monks). It has one of the most varied and complex pantheons in the Buddhist world; its rituals, which drew on native practices, are likewise unique. In turn, its imagery in art is often animated with a fierce energy. Set within the context of Tibet's harsh terrain, its art - sheltered in temples - would have provided dramatic contrast to the mono chromatic landscape, making use of vivid colors, precious stones and gilt. |
