This handcolored lithograph, titled "The Dalai Lama and Tibetan Buddhism," is a captivating glimpse into the rich cultural traditions of Tibet, specifically the religious practices of the Dalai Lama and Tibetan Buddhism. The image features the Dalai Lama, the spiritual and temporal leader of Tibetan Buddhism, seated on a colorful cushion, holding a string of prayer beads in his right hand. The intricate detail of his traditional robes and the peaceful expression on his face convey a deep sense of contemplation and spiritual devotion. Surrounding the Dalai Lama are various statues of deities and spiritual figures, all intricately carved and adorned with vibrant colors and intricate details. These statues represent the complex pantheon of Tibetan Buddhism, which includes both peaceful and wrathful deities, as well as various bodhisattvas and enlightened beings. The lithograph is part of Friedrich Wilhelm Goedsche's "Complete Gallery of Peoples in True Pictures," a comprehensive ethnographic and anthropological record of various cultures and customs from around the world. The handcolored lithograph technique allows for a high level of detail and accuracy in depicting the subjects, making this an invaluable resource for scholars and cultural historians. The image offers a unique window into the spiritual practices and material culture of Tibetan Buddhism during the 19th century, providing a valuable record of a tradition that continues to be practiced and revered by millions of people around the world today.
