Product Description

Review

"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

Book Description

Matthieu Ricard has lived in Nepal for over thirty years. During this time he has forged close ties with some of Buddhisms greatest spiritual masters, from Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche to His Holiness the Dalai Lama, for whom he is the official French interpreter. His experiences are recorded here in about 200 sublime colour photographs, accompanied by a perceptive text.

3.0 out of 5 stars Excellent photos of monks and pilgrims, but lacks photos of tourist sites, Oct 1 2009

This review is from: Tibet An Inner Journey (Hardcover)
The photographs focus mainly on the Buddhist Monks and pilgrims and nomads in Kham in Eastern Tibet, including the summer festivals featuring races and equestrian games. There are a few photos from Kathmandu, Samye Monastery, Mount Kailash and Lake Manasarovar.

The photos are very good, but I prefer more tourist site photos than the pilgrim and monk photos. The cover photograph is excellent.

5.0 out of 5 stars The reality of Tibetans made richly present, Feb 27 2007
By Edward C. Carpenter - Published on Amazon.com

This review is from: Tibet An Inner Journey (Hardcover)
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.

This review is from: Tibet An Inner Journey (Hardcover)
This book is a wonderful trip in Tibet. Matthieu Ricard is an extremely talented author and photographer. He takes the best portraits! It is an awe inspiring journey to the roof of the world! So many magnificent photograph of the beautiful tibetan people! By buying this book, not only you are getting your money worth 10 time over but you are also giving to charities to support the himalayan people. This book is of the same quality as any from the legendary Arthus-Bertrand! Fantastic buy for yourself or as a gift!
