Demon Mask
|
This monk has put on the terrifying mask of a demon decorated with skulls for the dances which welcome the Tibetan New Year. The dancers try to scare away evil spirits. While Buddha taught a very simple personal faith, in some parts of the world Buddhism came to include complicated beliefs in gods, spirits, and a large number of saints. | A Buddhist monk wears a demon mask to banish evil spirits during celebrations for the Tibetan New Year |
