About This Item
Torrance, CA, U.S.A.: Heian International Publishing, Incorporated, 2000. Book. New. Pictorial Boards. First Edition. Folio - over 12" - 15" tall. First Edition. Folio. Pictorial boards, 95 pp. illustrated throughout with color photographs. As new in dustjacket, mylar cover.

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..
