This is a welcome addition to other books published in recent years by Ricard. While it reproduces some photographs that can be found in The Spirit of Tibet and Monk Dancers of Tibet (in themselves, wonderful books), Tibet, An Inner Journey is Ricard's fullest photographic offering to date, closely covering a number of events and aspects of Buddhist life in Tibet, with an extensive focus on the Tibetan people themselves. I can't imagine another book that brings this people so close to the reader. It makes a persuasive plea for humanitarian assistance to preserve them and their unique Buddhist heritage.

This book is a wonderful trip in Tibet. Matthieu Ricard is an extremely talented author and photographer. He takes the best portraits! It is an awe inspiring journey to the roof of the world! So many magnificent photograph of the beautiful tibetan people! By buying this book, not only you are getting your money worth 10 time over but you are also giving to charities to support the himalayan people. This book is of the same quality as any from the legendary Arthus-Bertrand! Fantastic buy for yourself or as a gift!

exellent pictures story and background information.
written with love and understanding
one of my favourite books...

Merchandize arrived quickly and in 100% excellent quality. Coming all the way from New Delhi, India delightful care was taken with the packaging, too. Many thanks!

The photographs focus mainly on the Buddhist Monks and pilgrims and nomads in Kham in Eastern Tibet, including the summer festivals featuring races and equestrian games. There are a few photos from Kathmandu, Samye Monastery, Mount Kailash and Lake Manasarovar.

The photos are very good, but I prefer more tourist site photos than the pilgrim and monk photos. The cover photograph is excellent.
