Publisher Marketing: TIBETAN ART IN THE HEART OF DENMARK When you step into the Copenhagen Buddhist Center for the first time, it is easy to feel astonished. When you first stand in front of the grandiose massif of bricks with the beautifully curved wooden doors, you have no idea of what awaits inside. In the hall you are met by a vision of a different world - strong colors and buddha forms that most people have never seen before. As you arch your head back, it is easy to get lost in the beautiful and richly detailed images. It is an inner journey for the benefit of others. The images are loaded with meaning and, even though this universe of forms and animals looks like something from a different world, they certainly have some relevance to us - the murals are not just decorative and they are not just an expression of an exotic culture. On the contrary: this art represents deep meaning, a meaning beyond the personal realm. The images depict the deeper layers of the human mind, states of clarity and joy that are accessible to us all. The many symbols of the nonpersonal and superpersonal parts of our own consciousness point to a world of unknown dimensions. As you travel deep into the meaning, every image is a source of insight into the limitless potential of mind.
