About This Item
Berkeley: University of California Press, 1990 There is no doubt that the mystery and enchantment of Tibet, while seriously endangered, are still alive. Here, the Dalai Lama elaborates his message that his religion is kindness, with his views on how peace, happiness, and environmental responsibility are inextricably linked. He explains the meeting of pilgrimage for Tibetan Buddhists and gives an engaging account of his life in Lhasa, the capital Tibet. In addition he reveals many sides to his nature-compassion, profound faith, common sense, generosity, and a playful sense of humor. Personal reflections are matched here to 108 photographs of the land he hasn't seen since 1959. From the collection of Sanje (Frank) Elliott, Buddhist mentor, artist, and friend to many. Condition notes: 162 numbered pp; HB w/ DJ. Pages: clean, bright, tight, patterned read eps, frontis; gift inscription in gold ink to first free end page, inscription signature and date in Tibetan to the half title. Cover: red cloth, gilt titles front/spine; minimal shelfwear. DJ: unclipped, glossy black, color photo front, gilt titles front/spine; minimal edge/shelfwear. Impressive, heavy.
