A propos de ce titre

Synopsis

Provides an intimate portrait of Tibet and its people as they make their pilgrimage through the wheel of life. In Tibetan belief, existence is an endless cycle of birth, death and rebirth. This book traces that journey from birth and childhood to adolescence, marriage, midlife, old age and death.
