description: Tibet: The Sacred Realm, Photographs 1880-1950  Preface by His Holiness the Dalai Lama; Chronicle by Lobsang P. Lhalungpa Aperture is proud to reissue this body of outstanding, rare photographs that reveal the mystery of the ancient monasteries, temples, Tibetan Monks, costumed warriors, pilgrims, nomads, holy walks, sacred dances, and initiation rites. Tibet's exotic past is beautifully and, at times, magically illuminated in this book. Interest in Tibet has been stimulated by the release of films such as Sony Pictures' Seven Years in Tibet, starring Brad Pitt, B. D. Wong, and David Thewlis; and Kundun from Touchstone/Walt Disney Productions, directed by Martin Scorsese. 140 black-and-white photographs and 40 illustrations.  "Whatever the fate of Tibet, the spiritual essence of the Sacred Realm remains in the hearts of the Tibetan people."  Lobsang P. Lhalungpa.
