Tibetan Buddhist Symbolic Animals and Mythical Creatures

Tibetan Buddhist Symbolic Animals and Mythical Creatures. Whether imaginary or real, animals are a recurring decorative and symbolic element of ancient Tibetan art. Animal symbols contain a wealth of meaning in both social and religious contexts. Various animal forms have multiple psychological meanings and their powerful symbolism taps into the unconscious realm. The rich and varied animal motifs in Tibet culture can be divided into three major categories, each with its own symbolic connotations: domestic animals, wild animals, and mythical beasts.
