'This book is an actual meeting with this great spiritual being. It is a feast for the eyes, a spur to the intellect, and a balm for the heart. As I moved from spread to spread of always significant and beautiful photography, I savored the aphorisms and found them moving, thought-provoking, and delightful. It is historic in a unique way. I totally recommend it.' - ROBERT THURMAN, Jey Tsong Khapa Professor of Buddhist Studies, Columbia University; President, Tibet House US
