Synopsis:
Sale paperback edition. Evocative photographs celebrate life in the Tibetan Buddhist monastery of Sera Jeh. The ancient Gelugpa monastery of Sera Jeh near Lhasa was destroyed in the Chinese invasion of Tibet. Now reestablished in South India, it houses some 5,000 monks living in exile, including survivors of the destruction of the old monastery. With a foreword by Robert Thurman, this book captures the intimate moods and simple rhythms of this Buddhist community which has steadfastly carried on the legacy of the original Sera Jeh. Sheila Rock's moving portraits are a celebration of the everyday simplicity and subtle beauty of the ascetic life.
"These luminous pictures focus on the clear light at the heart of the life of this ancient monastery. To visit with her pictures is to enter this sacred yet lively space, sublime yet earthly realm, human yet divine serenity, ordinary yet extraordinary intelligence and sensitivity." Robert Thurman.
"An absolutely stunning collection of black and white photographs." Asian Week. |
