Please help other colorists decide if Color My Moods Coloring Books for Adults is for them by leaving a review. Editorial Review:"I have managed to have a really good look through all 3 of these fabulous books. With the number of books now on the market, it's becoming incredibly hard to find something that's a little bit different. However, these books are just that, unique and very different to any book I've seen. They are absolutely ideal for the beginner who is just starting out and wants something easy but decorative. Yes, you may have to like Mandalas, but I think these books would also appeal to those not so keen. With clear pictures throughout, the patterns start off relatively easy and can be coloured in a short amount of time, but progress through the book and they become harder and more intricate. Depending on your mood, pick a floral picture, or simple hearts, there is ample choice among the 3 books in the Color My Moods series. What makes these books even more interesting is the day time illustration on a white background and a night time on a black background. I love this. It's so different, and of course with such a fantastic variety and each book following a theme, it's sure to meet everyone's liking. It's certainly a good purchase for myself, family and friends. -Tracy Beattie, Co-administrator of the Facebook group Beginners and Beyond Adult Coloring Group

Koichi Shinohara traces the evolution of Esoteric Buddhist rituals from the simple recitation of spells in the fifth century to complex systems involving image worship, mandala initiation, and visualization practices in the ninth century. He presents an important new reading of a seventh-century Chinese text called the Collected Dharani Sutras, which shows how earlier rituals for specific deities were synthesized into a general Esoteric initiation ceremony and how, for the first time, the notion of an Esoteric Buddhist pantheon emerged. In the Collected Dharani Sutras, rituals for specific deities were typically performed around images of the deities, yet Esoteric Buddhist rituals in earlier sources involved the recitation of spells rather than the use of images. The first part of this study explores how such simpler rituals came to be associated with the images of specific deities and ultimately gave rise to the general Esoteric initiation ceremony described in the crucial example of the All-Gathering mandala ritual in the Collected Dharani Sutras. The visualization practices so important to later Esoteric Buddhist rituals were absent from this ceremony, and their introduction would fundamentally change Esoteric Buddhist practice. This study examines the translations of dharani sutras made by Bodhiruci in the early eighth century and later Esoteric texts, such as Yixing's commentary on the Mahavairocana sutra and Amoghavajra's ritual manuals, to show how incorporation of visualization greatly enriched Esoteric rituals and helped develop elaborate iconographies for the deities. Over time, the ritual function of images became less certain, and the emphasis shifted toward visualization. This study clarifies the complex relationship between images and ritual, changing how we perceive Esoteric Buddhist art as well as ritual.
