Don Farber's highly acclaimed photographs open a spectacular view of the beauty & diversity of Buddhist life around the world. His superb eye for composition, his attention to color & detail, & his intimate knowledge of Buddhism come together to produce outstanding, often breathtaking images. A selection of Farber's best work to date, Visions of Buddhist Life brings an important message of compassion, healing, & understanding to today's troubled world. The photographs, together with Farber's extensive captions, take us to the temples, monasteries, & colorful streets of Los Angeles, Kyoto, & Bangkok, & travel onward to China, India, Nepal, South Korea, & Taiwan. They depict Buddhists alone & in crowds, in cities rich & poor, in meditation & in conversation. They also picture some of the great teachers of our day--the Dalai Lama, Thich Nhat Hanh, & Kalu Rinpoche. These images capture some of the last Tibetan masters to have received their training before the Chinese invasion & are a vital documentation of a tradition in danger of vanishing forever.A study in the human face, in the art of spiritual devotion, in the evocative power of landscape, this collection of images provides an essential context for understanding Buddhism. Visions of Buddhist Life is also a visual & spiritual journey into a realm where the doctrine of nonviolence is paramount & where peace begins with the thoughts & actions of the individual. ...
