Description

The SUMO edition showcases the most valuable surviving wall paintings from Tibetan Buddhist culture. For the first time, these astonishing and intricate masterpieces can be appreciated in stunning color and natural resolution. Signed by His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama, the book is a revelation for scholars, Tibet enthusiasts, as well as practitioners of Buddhism, yoga, meditation, and mindfulness.

This artistic edition features a large-scale reproduction of a mural depicting Green Tara, limited to just 40 copies. Printed on plaster and hand-gilded with 23.75-karat gold, this piece evokes the overwhelming brilliance of its centuries-old original. The result is breathtaking beauty and a truly immersive experience of world heritage artifacts preserved within our SUMO.
