這是龍岡文化借給印隆參考的「Tibetan Buddhist Goddess
Altars」，實在是十分精緻！試著上amazom搜尋，果然有這本書！

這一本的內容為「Buddhist Goddess」，有四尊以女性化身的唐卡本尊。「本尊」是密宗名相，為曼荼羅壇城或唐卡的佛陀、菩薩或明王像，女性本尊稱為佛母、空行母或明妃，密宗修行者以本尊為觀修對象。

這是amazom上的介紹：主要是說明「家庭壇城」是一個趨勢，本書以西藏寺院作為設計，讓使用者可以藉由本書立體唐卡觀修本尊：
The home altar has become an increasingly popular tool for
contemporary seekers, allowing them to tap their spirituality informally, at
any time of the day. This charming book puts a new twist on the phenomenon by
showcasing female Buddhist deities in a delightfully unusual format. Designed
to resemble a Tibetan temple, the book presents stunning three-dimensional
renderings of traditional thangka paintings. It features doors that open
from the middle of the front cover, a sturdy tab-insert closure, and elastic
loops to hold each altar firmly in place. Four important goddesses appear here.
White Tara pacifies illness and removes obstacles; Vanshudara increases
prosperity, fertility, and happiness; Kurukulla helps attract and influence
through the power of love and desire; and Vajrayogini aids in developing the
enlightened union of Great Bliss and Emptiness. With the assistance of these
colorful altars and an informative text about the symbolic art, visualization
can blossom into multidimensional meditation.
在每幅唐卡前面下方，設計有像是藏傳經書的摺頁，正面是真言（mantra，曼陀羅），摺頁打開內文是該本尊的簡介。
除了「Tibetan Buddhist Goddess Altars」以外，還有另外一本「Tibetan Buddhist
Goddess Altars」，有五幅本尊唐卡：釋迦牟尼佛（Shakyamuni
Buddha）、綠度母（Green Tara）、觀音菩薩（Padmapani Avalokiteshvara）、文殊菩薩（Manjushri）以及藥師佛（Medicine Buddha）。這一本印隆也很喜歡，已託人購買，屆時再與大眾分享。
發現在amazom上的「家庭壇城」、「隨身壇城」還真不少，有些像是藝術品般的精美，如：「Buddhist Travel Altar Box, Medicine Buddha（藥師佛）」、「Bodhi
Travel Altar」、「Om Home Altar Box、「Travel
Altar Box」、「Asian
Japanese Feng Shui Sand Zen Garden」、「Asian
Japanese Feng Shui Sand Zen Garden」。或許在功利主義現行的當代，許多人都追求心靈的安定，但切莫又物化了。
