PORTRAITS OF TIBETAN BUDDHIST MASTERS

by Don Farber, fore. by Sogyal Rinpoche

Superb color photos of some of the most influential masters of contemporary Buddhism--including the Dalai Lama, Chogyam Trungpa, and Sogyal Rinpoche--presented together with quotations from each of them. Each portrait is accompanied by a short biography. A feast for the eyes, and a moving testament to the range of great modern-day Buddhist masters. Over 70 fabulous portraits of masters from four lineages of Tibetan Buddhism.

"This book is a work of history. Yet Don Farber has conjured something across the transparent boundaries of time. He has captured something magical. In the Vajrayana tradition of Tibet, there is a method called thong drol, "liberation upon seeing." I believe that images of masters, such as these, are endowed with a real power of communication and transmission." --from the foreword by Sogyal Rinpoche

"Don Farber's book of photographs is a beautiful work of exquisite art and profound discovery. His artistry, skill, and approach to these wonderful subjects bring us to a place whereby lama, photographer, and reader merge into one contemplative, heart opening experience. These teachers are remarkable."--Robert Thurman, author of Essential Tibetan Buddhism

"An inspiring book of heart-warming photographs of leading Tibetan lamas with pithy, provocative teachings from each, at once thought provoking and deeply moving."--Jeffrey Hopkins, author of Cultivating Compassion: A Buddhist Perspective

The portraits included:

His Holiness the Dalai Lama: The Spiritual Leader of Tibetan Buddhism
