“Don Farber is an old friend of the Tibetans... I am grateful to him for seeking to portray our religion and culture so vivid-ly, often capturing not only the spectacular scene, but also the accompanying peaceful atmosphere...these photographs are accompanied by clear and succinct explanations of many aspects of Tibetan Buddhism.”
-- From the foreword by His Holiness the Dalai Lama
“Don Farber is one of those who has made ample room in his heart and life for the people and culture of Tibet. This well-known author and photographer, who is married to a Tibetan woman, was introduced to Buddhism in the 1970s. Tibetan Buddhist Life is a lavishly and artfully produced coffee-table book with over 200 telling images, which deserves to be read and contemplated rather than merely browsed in. Apart from introducing with great sensitivity the spirituality and culture of Tibet, past and present, Farber also tells in simple terms the story of Tibetan Buddhism and its followers in the Himalayan countries and India. This richly textured volume offers a portrait of Tibet and Tibetans that is both informative and enchanting. It also gives one a strong sense that Tibet’s cultural heritage deserves to be protected and preserved.”
