An Ode to Beauty

Glorious skies and fantastic Himalayan lights, Tibetan monasteries emerging from unreal morning mists, iridescent sacred lakes, spiritual masters plunged in contemplation, joyful children’s faces,magnificent and noble old men, wild horses galloping under a stormy sky, rhythmic and shimmering ceremonial dances… Here are the photographs of Matthieu Ricard, a molecular biologist, writer, photographer and Buddhist monk, who has been living for over forty years in Tibet. Out of thousands of those pictures, have been selected for you, in this book, nearly 200 masterpieces.
“Matthieu’s camera and his spiritual life are one, and from this spring these images, fleeting and eternal” once wrote Henri Cartier-Bresson.
