Foreword by His Holiness the Dalai Lama. This beautiful book invites readers to experience the cultural-spiritual traditions of Tibet, Bhutan, Nepal, Sikkim, and Ladakh. The wisdom of the ancient teachings is transmitted in simple yet expressive language that is accessible to today's readers. Complementing and subtly echoing the teachings, Marcia Keegan's sensitive photos capture the unique qualities of these traditional Buddhist lands and cultures.
