His latest journey took him to the Indian Himalayan foothills where he lived and worked with the Tibetan refugee community of Dharamsala . . . he conveys with uncanny accuracy the essence of the way of life of the Tibetan people, preserved here still after twenty-five years of exile from their beloved Himalayan kingdom . . .

Secret Visions Of The Fifth Dalai Lama

Samten Karmay

Publié en 1988

Livre
Documentaire

The Gold Manuscript in the Fournier Collection. This beautiful manuscript recounts in words and images the visionary experiences of the Great Fifth Dalai Lama, Ngawang Lobzang Gyamtso [1617-1682]. A new discovery, it is the sole illustrated secret autobiography known to exist in the world. Hitherto totally concealed both from Tibetans and others alike, and recently acquired for the Fournier Collection, it is only now that this extraordinary document comes to light and is available for study. Although it never circulated outside his personal court, the Dalai Lama clearly states that it was composed and executed “in order to guide the uninitiated and for all those who wish to do drawings and paintings of the heavens”.

Lall Kesar

Publié en 1978

Livre
Fiction
Conte

Giants and demons, Bungadeo, the God of Mercy, and Bandhu Achaju, the Tantric Master, feature in thirtyone traditional folktales from Nepal. Entertaining and illuminating reading. Several of these stories confirm the old theory of the German orientalist Max Muller about the migration of tales from country to country. The Adivasis of Bihar can find at least half a dozen of them retold with changes of names and places. A couple of them are variations of stories found in distant Vietnam.
