Tenzin Arlo Cole,Jeff OfstedahlWhat if the figures of Buddhism weren't just myths... but maps of the human mind?
From the serene presence of Gautama Buddha to the boundless compassion of Avalokiteshvara and the fierce power of Mahakala, Buddhism is filled with extraordinary beings-each representing a path to awakening.
But who are they really?
And what do they mean for you?
In The Buddhist Cosmos, you'll discover:
- The complete world of Buddhas, bodhisattvas, and celestial beings
- The hidden symbolism behind figures like Tara and Manjushri
- The mythological structure of the Buddhist universe
- How these archetypes reflect your own inner transformation
- A modern, accessible interpretation of ancient spiritual wisdom
This is not just a book of mythology.
It's a guide to understanding enlightenment itself.
A guide to understanding the symbolic universe of Buddhism-and what it means for your life.
