Synopsis: New paperback edition. A wonderful photographic journey to the heart of Bhutan, a land of ancient wisdom, where spirituality and daily life are intimately linked. Includes inspiring photographs and details of the life of Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche.
Tucked away between Tibet and India in the heart of the Himalaya, Bhutan remains a relatively little-known country. Nearly 25 years ago, Matthieu Ricard, renowned monk, translator, and photographer, went to Bhutan to study with Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche, a highly revered Tibetan Nyingma Lama, with whom he spent nearly eight years. During this time, he also came to know Bhutan's royal family. He has continued to return to the "land of the dragon" throughout his life. This exceptionally beautiful pictorial book features his encounters and experiences, works of art, religious festivals, the life of a great Buddhist master: Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche, and the daily lives of local villagers. |
