Join us for a captivating evening as Doug takes us on a photographic journey through time to Lhasa, Tibet at the zenith of its Buddhist history. These rarely seen images were shot by Theos Bernard (1908-1947), one of the earliest Western explorers of Yoga and Tibetan Buddhist culture, on his historic journey to Lhasa in 1937.
At a time when Tibet’s borders were famously sealed to outsiders, all of Lhasa’s secret temples and shrines were opened to him, and Theos Bernard became the first Westerner ever initiated into Tantric practices by Tibet’s highest lamas.
Selected from what has been described as the best photographic collection of old Tibet in existence, these images and the adventures they illustrate document an inside view of a now vanished culture.
