Don Farber "His Holiness the Dalai Lama" (10/11)



Don Farber has travelled with the Dalai Lama for the past 30 years documenting His Holiness and just released a book "His Holiness the Dalai Lama" about a month ago. This Sunday (Oct 11th) at 2 pm, Don will be speaking and signing his book in Pasadena over at The Pacific Asia Museum as part of their Authors on Asia series.

You can check a preview of the book over here on Google Book plus also check out Don Farber's own site BuddhistPhotos.com. By the way, check out his archive of Buddhist Life - there's plenty of photos here though they are in thumbnail form - just big enough to see . I wish there were more of his work online especially his Dharma Heritage Project.

Photographer Don Farber has followed His Holiness, the Dalai Lama for 30 years. This documentary and inspirational work celebrates the life and work of a leader unique in the modern world. Farbers photographs capture the charismatic spiritual figure, highlighting the reverence shown him wherever he goes. Of equal interest are the quieter moments that reveal the private individual and his compelling humanity. Through following in the footsteps of His Holiness we learn more about his character, and about the central tenets of Tibetan Buddhism

Authors on Asia programs are free to museum members and included with museum admission for non-members.
