About this title

About the Author:

Danielle and Olivier Föllmi divide their time between the Alps and the Himalayas. Olivier's photographs of the Himalayas have been seen around the world and have won the prestigious World Press Photo Prize. Danielle is a doctor and intensive-care team member who has established nutrition and sanitation programs in many Tibetan schools. The Föllmis are the founders of HOPE, an association dedicated to education in the Himalayas. They are the authors of 14 books that have promoted the heritage of the Tibetan world, and are the official photographers of the Dalai Lama.

From Publishers Weekly:

Weighing in at four and a half pounds, Danielle and Oliver Fallmi's book Offerings: Buddhist Wisdom for Every Day is a bit heavy for a bedside devotional. However, it is visually stunning, with 365 color photographs of Tibetan Buddhists at work and worship amidst the natural beauty of Asia. There is a short quote for each day, many from traditional Buddhist texts and others from contemporary teachers such as Jack Kornfield, Pema Chidren and the 14th Dalai Lama. The quotes and photos are organized into 52 weekly themes, including impermanence, clarity of mind and change.
