Spirit of Tibet by Khyentse Rinpoche
Khyentse Rinpoche led a life of devotion to spiritual enlightenment and teaching. With a similar dedication, Matthieu Ricard was Khyentse Rinpooche's personal assistant for the final fourteen years - living by his side every day, and sleeping at the foot of his bed at night. Ricard's photographic account of these years is a personal study of one of the most important teachers of Tibetan Buddhism, and forms an inspiring portrait of a land and its spirit.
Matthieu Ricard is a Buddhist monk who had a promising career in cellular genetics before leaving France to study Buddhism in the Himalayas 37 years ago. He is a best-selling author, translator, and photographer; and an active participant in current scientific research on the effects of meditation on the brain. He lives in Nepal and dedicates much of his time to humanitarian projects in the Himalayas. Find out more at: www.matthieuricard.org/en. All of the author's proceeds from the sale of this book go to Karuna-Shechen, a humanitarian organization that he founded to provide primary health care and education for the underserved populations of the Himalayan region.
