Title: Visions of Buddhist life
Description: Farber's photographs open a view of the beauty and diversity of Buddhist life around the world. His eye for composition, his attention to color and detail, and his intimate knowledge of Buddhism come together to produce a study in the human face, in the art of spiritual devotion, in the evocative power of landscape. The photographs, together with Farber's extensive captions, take us to the temples, monasteries, and colorful streets of Los Angeles, Kyoto, and Bangkok, and travel onward to China, India, Nepal, South Korea, and Taiwan. These images capture some of the last Tibetan masters to have received their training before the Chinese invasion. They also picture some of the great teachers of our day--the Dalai Lama, Thich Nhat Hanh, and Kalu Rinpoche. They depict Buddhists alone and in crowds, in cities rich and poor, in meditation and in conversation. --From publisher description.
