Vintage 1978 HIMALAYAN PILGRIMAGE Ernst Haas COFFEE TABLE BOOK

Description: Vintage 1978 HIMALAYAN PILGRIMAGE Ernst Haas COFFEE TABLE BOOK Text by Gisela Minke Nearly 50 years old, this book has some wear on the dust jacket and a few small stains, but the book itself is nicely in tact and contains beautiful photography from Ernst Haas. The Himilaya is different things to different people. To Indians, it is the Himalaya, the "abode of snow," mystical home of the gods, source of all their great and sacred rivers. To the rest of the world, it is the Hima-layas, the highest mountain range on earth, "the roof of the world," where the towering peaks have always attracted adventurers and mountain climbers, as well as seekers after spiritual heights. For Ernst Haas and Gisela Minke, the Himalaya of India and its neighboring countries is home for the Dalai Lama and for thousands of Tibetans who followed their leader into exile after China's invasion of Tibet in the late 1950s. For years the authors longed to visit Tibet, "the forbidden country," and to study the unique culture and Buddhist religion of its people. In 1968 they were issued permission to begin their pil-grimage-to the refugee settlements of Mussoorie, Dar-jeeling, and Dharamsala, to Bhutan, Sikkim, Nepal, and to other religious centers in the Himalaya. They participated in events that few outsiders ever witness-for instance, the Kalachakra Initiation, at which the fourteenth Dalai Lama officiated before a hundred thousand Lamaists from everywhere in the Himalaya - and they attended others that will never be repeated - such as the coronation of eighteen-year-old King, Jigme Singye Wangchuck of Bhutan. The photographs included in this book were selected from thousands taken over a nine-year period and, together with an account of the experiences and impressions during the journey, convey the reverence, the brilliance that underlined the Buddhist rituals … Contents Acknowledgments Photo Notes6 Map7 Introduction11 Mussoorie and Dharamsala15 Nepal55 Bhutan86 Ladakh115 The Kalachakra Initiation155
