Summary: With an enlightening foreword by the Dalai Lama. the return of this exquisitely illustrated volume presents an intimate portrait of Tibet and its people. According to Tibetan belief. existence is an endless cycle of birth. death. and rebirth. and authors Carroll Durham and Ian Baker trace the course of this Tibetan wheel of life - from birth to childhood through adolescence and midlife. to old age and death - as they introduce us to the riches of the Tibetan way of life. Illuminated by Thomas Kelly's more than 150 revealing color photographs. this unique exploration of the endangered Tibetan culture is at once lively. humorous. tragic. and inspiring. Set against Tibet's staggeringly beautiful mountain landscapes. as well as against the ongoing struggle of the Tibetans to win independence from China. this celebrated volume portrays the many faces of an earthy yet devout people steeped in a rich heritage.ISBN: 1558592180.
