Description: This book could not have been written without the help and support of a number of teachers and institutions. I would like to begin with my first teacher in the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, Prof. David Shulman who not only introduced me to Indian culture, but also encouraged me to study the Sanskrit language for which he was a wonderful teacher. Ms. Lydia Aran at the same university provided many fruitful insights into Buddhism and Himalayan Art. I would like to thank also the Exchange Program between the Hebrew University of Jerusalem and Indiana University which enabled me to continue my studies in the Tibetan Studies Program in the Department of Uralic and Altaic Studies at Indiana University. I am grateful to Prof. Christopher I. Beckwith who provided a thorough explanation of the grammar of the Tibetan language which so far cannot be found in any written work. It has been a great privilege to be able to study with Prof. Thubten J. Norbu who not only offered illuminations on Tibetan Buddhism in general, but also guided my initial steps in the study of the Indo-Tibetan ritual for consecration of stfipas, images and books. Prof. Elliot Sperling has taught me much on the history and politics of Tibet.
