The result is an extraordinary visual record of the ancient murals that line their walls — devotional masterworks spanning centuries of Tibetan Buddhist art, many of which have never before been documented at this level of detail or fidelity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWorking in close collaboration with the Dalai Lama, who contributes a foreword to this volume, Laird captured these fragile, irreplaceable paintings using state-of-the-art photographic technology. The images reveal a world of breathtaking colour, intricate iconography, and profound spiritual meaning — a civilisation's visual memory preserved on the walls of its holiest places.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003ePublication Details\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/strong\u003e TASCHEN\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAuthor \/ Photographer:\u003c\/strong\u003e Thomas Laird\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eForeword:\u003c\/strong\u003e His Holiness the Dalai Lama\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e XXL limited edition, housed in a custom collector's clamshell box\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAlso Contains:\u003c\/strong\u003e Bookstand designed by Pritzker Prize-winning architect and humanitarian pioneer Shigeru Ban.
