In this part, Ian Baker uses a very rare 11th century tantric diagram representing Vajravārāhī (shown with permission of the Pritzker Collection), to present some of the main characteristics of Tantric meditation, yogic practices and Tibetan medical tradition.
In addition, this episode features rare illustrations including some taken from the late 17th century manuscript ”Ornament to the Mind of Medicine Buddha: Blue Beryl Lamp Illuminating Four Tantras” (shown with permission of the Rubin Museum of Art), some drawings showing examples of Thögal (shown with permission of the Royal Danish Library), a contemporary thangka by Romio Shrestha, as well as rare photographs by Frederick Spencer Chapman ( shown with permission of The Trustees of the British Museum) and by Ernst Schäfer (with permission of the Deutsche Bundesarchiv).
This is part 8 of the documentary about the TIBET'S SECRET TEMPLE: BODY, MIND AND MEDITATION IN TANTRIC BUDDHISM exhibition held at the Wellcome Collection in London.
To watch the full-length documentary (around 75 minutes long) with complete credits of the artworks shown in the film, please refer to: vimeo.com/3938... or www.artvideolibrary.net
Please note that we were not allowed to show or include the photographs of the Lukhang temple murals shown during the exhibition. We’d like to thank Ian Baker, Hon Wai Wai and Hamid Sardar for allowing us to use their photographs of these extraordinary paintings. We’d also like to thank the museums, institutions and private collectors who allowed us to present the other artworks and images you will see in this documentary.
