buddhist kingdoms on the roof-top of the world |
|
The mysterious lands of central asia, the forbidden kingdoms, where the ancient Buddhist doctrine is at one with this wild and remote landscape, the far side of the high Himalayas, shaping its culture through the centuries.
Here the Dalai Lama is still revered as the spiritual leader, the reincarnation of Avalokitishvara, the Boddhistva of Compassion. |
