The first book to bring together all elements of Tibetan Buddhist life; a visual and literary testament to the beauty, wisdom, and strength of these people.
This unprecedented book is the first to bring together so many elements of Tibetan Buddhist life. Despite the perseverance of the Tibetan people, their culture is fragile and in danger of vanishing from our world. This book is a visual and literary testament to the beauty, wisdom and strength of these people, focusing on their life and heritage in the Himalayan countries and the West.
Acclaimed photographer and author Don Farber, considered "one of the most important chroniclers of Buddhism in the twentieth century" (Shambhala Sun), leads us on an inspiring journey through the world of Tibetan Buddhism. Richly illustrated with over 200 stunning reproductions, the book includes many photographs from the author's own remarkable collection, historic photographs, and ancient and contemporary artwork.
