DALAI LAMA

The 14th Dalai Lama is one of the most famous personalities of our time. The exiled principal
spiritual leader of Tibetan Buddhism  one of the most distinguished scholars of his religion 
enjoys global recognition and admiration. No other photographer in the world is as close to His
Holiness as Manuel Bauer  whose deep interest in Buddhism and Tibet dates back more than three
decades. Since 1990  Bauer has visited and traveled with the Dalai Lama many times and has
captured his public appearances and events as well as his private life in thousands of
atmospheric photographs. This German-language book features some 200 of these images  many of
which are published here for the first time. They offer unique insights into the Dalai Lama's
travels and public appearances around the world as well as the media hype they cause. They also
give an impression of the private side of this truly global public figure  allowing us to share
some of the few moments when the Dalai Lama is alone with himself and his thoughts. A special
section documents and visually explains a K¿lacakra  a fascinating sand mandala ritual that the
Dalai Lama held with followers in the Indian Ladakh region in 2014. The volume is rounded out
with essays contributed by Thupten Jinpa  the Dalai Lama's longtime interpreter and a renowned
Buddhist scholar  and Swiss journalist Christian Schmidt. They broaden our view of Tibetan
culture and religious tradition and our understanding of the Dalai Lama's significance.
