Buddhist Himalayas takes us on a double voyage both on the outside and from within. From the beauty of the majestic landscapes to the faces of spiritual masters and humble shepherds, the sacred buildings and places, coupled with an inner regard that reveals the essence of Buddhism and the soul of the Himalayas.

Along with Danielle and Olivier Föllmi and Matthieu Ricard, seventeen eminent political and spiritual personalities have worked on this book, bringing their own contributions to make up a unique and comprehensive reference work on the subject: Matthieu Akester, Philippe Cornu, Jigme Douche, Mireille Helffer, David P. Jackson, Corneille Jest, Claude B. Levenson, Fernand Meyer, Jamyang Norbu, Clara Osel, Jetsun Pema, Françoise Pommaret, Janet Rizvi, Galen Rowell, Lobsang Sangyé, Gene Smith.

The conclusion of the book has been written by His Holiness the Delai-Lama: “I often refer to the 20th century as “the century of violence”. The one advantage to this violence is that it has forced humanity to mature. Today, we speak more often about compassion and non-violence. If we make a real effort, the 21st century could be one of dialogue. This is my most cherished wish.”
