PORTRAITS OF TIBETAN BUDDHIST MASTERSby Don Farber, fore. by Sogyal RinpocheSuperb 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 MASTERS OF THE NYINGMA SCHOOL: His Holiness Mindrolling Trichen Rinpoche His Holiness Penor Rinpoche Trulshik Rinpoche Rabjam Rinpoche Dzogchen Rinpoche Minling Khenchen Rinpoche Nyoshul Khen Rinpoche Sogyal Rinpoche Khandro Tsering Paldron Rinpoche Thinley Norbu Rinpoche Dzigar Kongtrul Rinpoche Chagdud Tulku Rinpoche Dzatrul Rinpoche Gyatrul Rinpoche Khamtrul Rinpoche Anzin Rinpoche Chogyal Namkhai Norbu Rinpoche Namkha Drimed Rabjam Rinpoche Khenpo Thupten Mewa Rinpoche Sakyong Jamgon Mipham Rinpoche Adzom Paylo Rinpoche Kunsang Dechen Lingpa Rinpoche Lama Tharchin Rinpoche Tulku Thubten Rinpoche Khempo Yurmed Tinly Rinpoche MASTERS OF THE KAGYU SCHOOL: Karma Kagyu: His Holiness the Seventeenth Gyalwang Karmapa, Ogyen Trinley Dorje His Holiness the Sixteenth Gyalwa Karmapa, Rangjung Rigpe Dorje Jamgon Kongtrul Rinpoche Tai Situ Rinpoche Gyaltsab Rinpoche Kalu Rinpoche Bokar Rinpoche Thrangu Rinpoche Tenga Rinpoche Khenpo Tsultrim Gyamtso Rinpoche Chogyam Trungpa Rinpoche Khenpo Karthar Rinpoche Drukpa Kagyu: Choegon Rinpoche Khamtrul Rinpoche Adeu Rinpoche Togden Atrin Togden Acho Drikung Kagyu: The Drikung Kyabgon, His Holiness Chetsang Rinpoche Garchen Rinpoche Drikung Ontul Rinpoche Ayang Rinpoche Khenchen Konchog Gyaltshen Rinpoche MASTERS OF THE SAKYA SCHOOL His Holiness Sakya Trizin His Holiness Jigdal Dagchen Sakya Rinpoche Chogye Trichen Rinpoche Luding Khenchen Rinpoche Dzongsar Jamyang Khyentse Rinpoche Khenpo Kunga Wangchuk Rinpoche Dagmo Jamyang Sakya Khandro Tsering Chodron Jetsun Chimey Luding Gona Tulku Rinpoche MASTERS OF THE GELUG SCHOOL The One Hundredth Gaden Tri Rinpoche Ling Rinpoche Lati Rinpoche His Holiness the Ninth Khalkha Jetsun Dampa Khyongla Rato Rinpoche Arjia Rinpoche Tara Tulku Rinpoche Ribur Rinpoche Kangyur Khensur Rinpoche Kirti Tsenshab Rinpoche Samdhong Rinpoche Gehlek Rinpoche Lama Zopa Rinpoche Geshe Lhundub Sopa Geshe Tsultim Gyeltsen | |
