Beautiful and Inspirational

Phil Borges amazing photography, accompanied by words from the Dalai Lama make this book not only beautiful to look at, but inspiring as well.

An ancient wisdom ,clarified.

For those who might have a curiosity as to what THE Power of Compassion is... there is no finer synthesis of portrait and teaching than this rare gem of clarity. Real world suffering as the vehicle of our own liberation in the here and now.Impeccable credentials distinguish the Teacher,His Holiness the Dalai Lama. You are in for a precious experience.

The most touching portraits I've seen.

This book is incredible. I am an artist myself and have seen more than my share of photographic portraits and none of them touch the quality of these. It is the kind of book you can look at again and again. There is nothing pathetic or dramatic about these photos, they are pure and seem to cut right to the truth of the subject. Whether the cause of Tibet is something you are passionate about or not - the spirit and life in these portraits will make you feel like you are seeing the soul of the subject and want to do something to help.

A delight for the eye, mind and spirit.

Wonderful book with unusual, simple, beautiful and evocative photos. The photographers technique in shooting and printing the photos of this gentle people is pure joy to the eye. The text describing the people photographed is as interesting and provocative as the accompanying quotations. A must see, divine to read.
