es larga la fila de este tipo de motivos gráficos, de hecho recuerdo el excelente libro de Jurgis Baltrusaitis: LA EDAD MEDIA FANTÁSTICA. ANTIGÜEDADES Y EXOTISMOS EN EL ARTE GÓTICO (Cátedra, 1994), que remata justo con una detallada exposición sobre el tema en el budismo. En especial es interesante el asunto de los mandalas.
