Update

KsitigarbhaI have been chipping away at minor improvements over the last few weeks. My big improvement (I hope) will be the replacement of all artwork with my own simple line drawings. These are not masterpieces of religious artwork, just illustrative of the basic outline of iconography. I hope they will help to contribute to a cohesive look and feel for the site.

Current examples are akasagarbha and ksitigarbha (right).

Indian scripts in Tibet

The Indian Scripts in Tibet website is very useful and attractive. I hadn't realized that there is a difference between Lansta and Ranjana for instance - although it is subtle. Plus several scripts such as Vartu, Smar-script, and Zhang-zhung, which I have not heard of before. Some wonderful examples of Lantsa calligraphy, especially of the Vajrasattva mantra.
