Dharamsala - literally translated as "a place for shelter" - is home to the Dalai Lama and the headquarters of his government-in-exile. Overlooking the stunningly beautiful Kangra valley, this tiny dot on India's landscape is steeped in history. This illustrated book takes readers on an armchair pilgrimage to the home of the Dalai Lama, capturing the sights and events that make Dharamsala special. Buddhist culture comes alive through Dharamsala's many temples, monasteries and the orange robes of Buddhist monks. Buddhism, its pervading serenity and the patient preparedness of the Tibetans towards returning to their homeland fill the land with a silent grace that leaves travellers with a feeling that they have visited a "chosen land". Founded by the British in 1846, this hill station seems blessed by Avalokitesvara - the Bodhisattva of Compassion, who is essentially the patron deity of Tibet.

Seller's Description:
New in New jacket. Book. Folio-over 12"-15" tall. First Edition. Folio. Pictorial boards, 95 pp. illustrated throughout with color photographs. As new in dustjacket, mylar cover. Dharamsala-literally, a place for shelter-is a city seemingly predestined to serve as the headquarters of the government-in-exile of the Fourteenth Dalai Lama. A tiny dot on the eastern Indian landscape, founded as a hill station by the British in 1846, Dharamsala is steeped in both Indian and Tibetan history, and today boasts a cosmopolitan populace. The colorful photographs here of the land and its people, along with a warmly personal text, portray the determination of the Tibetans to preserve their culture and identity. Realizing that they would not return to their homeland soon, the Dalai Lama and his followers built temples and monasteries, libraries and markets, and, as India's Jawaharlal Nehru counseled, ensured their nation's survival through the education of their children.
