La roue de la vie dans les temples bouddhiques

One of the first sights encountered by visitors to Buddhist temples is a large painting of the wheel of rebirth,depicting in horrific detail the pains (less often the pleasures) that await people after death. In this illustrated talk,Stephen F. Teiser explains how these representations of the Buddhist worldview have been imagined in Buddhist art over the centuries. The lecture offers an introduction to Buddhist cosmology,Buddhist art,and the spatial and ritual organization of Buddhist temples in India,central Asia,China,and Tibet.
