Tao Te Ching
Journey to Enlightenment
In this beautiful book, Khyentse Rinpoche's personal assistant, Matthieu Ricard assembled pictures and stories about their travels together through Bhutan, Nepal, India and Tibet. Illustrating Tibetan history with amazing, modern photographs; documenting true compassion in an everyday context; and inspiring a glimpse into the possibilities of authentic enlightenment; this book becomes like inviting a sphere of realization into your living room.
