Samye by Mikel Dunham PDF Summary

Book Description: Nestled deep in the "Land of Snow" stands Samye, the monastery where Buddhism took root in Tibet. Stunning photography and compelling text transport readers to a sacred place where only a few pilgrims have set foot. That Samye still exists is nothing short of a miracle. Founded in the year 770, it has withstood several major fires; 1,200 years of the harsh Tibetan winter; and the devastating invasion of the Red Army. The invasion was almost the monastery's undoing as soldiers removed its magnificent golden roof, desecrated its frescos, burnt irreplaceable ancient texts, and expelled or killed the monks who called it "home." Join acclaimed artist and photographer, Mikel Dunham, as he explains Samye's remarkable history and current restoration effort with illuminating text and breath-taking photography. Most importantly, join in the hope that change may come soon to the Land of the Snow Lions.
