Buddhist Himalayas
Danielle Föllmi, Olivier Föllmi, and Matthieu Ricard

A spectacular photographic journey to the beauty of the majestic Himalayan countryside, to the Tibetan people - spiritual masters and humble shepherds alike - and to their sacred places This harmonious visual mosaic of the richness of a mountaintop civilization is enhanced by texts by eminent specialists on Tibetan culture as well as reflections from political and spiritual leaders of the Himalayan world. Offering a perspective from both within and outside Tibetan society, each of the twenty-one authors -from the noted photographer Galen Rowell to the Dalai Lama- provides a window onto the Buddhist Himalayas and the people who inhabit this magical land.
