Tibet: Between Heaven and Earth

by Peter Grieder, Peter Grieder (Photographer), Dalai Lama (Introduction)

Overview

Tibet: Between Heaven and Earth is a very personal book. It is the outcome of the author�s own search for truth. In order to let the reader participate in his quest, Peter Grieder tried to put the photographs and texts together in such a way that an inner context, a kind of thread on which the beads are strung, is presented. He guides the contemplative reader and observer from the outside to the inside on a journey through Ladakh, Zanskar, Bhutan and Tibet. The journey starts with images of flowers, lakes, children and landscapes. It ends with the Tibetan Book of the Dead. As in a mandala, the path begins on the periphery and ends in the guarded secret of the center.
