Product Description
A moving journey into the heart of Buddhist spirituality and into the daily life and festivals of people in the Tibetan interior.
"Matthieu's spiritual life and his camera are one and the same, and it is from this unity that these fleeting yet eternal images spring."—Henri Cartier-Bresson
Matthieu Ricard has lived in Nepal for over thirty years. During this time he has forged close ties with some of Buddhism's greatest spiritual masters, from Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche to His Holiness the Dalai Lama, for whom he is the official French interpreter.
Ricard's status as a monk and his knowledge of the Tibetan people and culture have opened many doors to him: he has been able to follow pilgrimages made by the great lamas of eastern Tibet; to bear witness to the artistry of wood-engravers at the gigantic, mysterious Dege printing press; and to meet hermit monks in extremely remote regions of Kham. These experiences and many others are recorded here in 191 sublime color photographs.

The reality of Tibetans made richly present February 27, 2007

This is a welcome addition to other books published in recent years by Ricard. While it reproduces some photographs that can be found in The Spirit of Tibet and Monk Dancers of Tibet (in themselves, wonderful books), Tibet, An Inner Journey is Ricard's fullest photographic offering to date, closely covering a number of events and aspects of Buddhist life in Tibet, with an extensive focus on the Tibetan people themselves. I can't imagine another book that brings this people so close to the reader. It makes a persuasive plea for humanitarian assistance to preserve them and their unique Buddhist heritage.
