Bangkok--21 Dec--Xinhua News
A new photo album entitled “Tibet: Road to Heaven”, was unveiled on Wednesday in Bangkok, as a dedication to the charitable causes of Master Phra Maha Vudhijaya Vajiramedhi. The pictorial book, entitled “Tibet: Road to Heaven”, includes 100 photos encapsulating the mystical cultures and customs of China’s Tibet Autonomous Region, contributed by renowned and award-winning oversea-Chinese photographer, David Lau. It is a masterpiece for the understanding and appreciation of the vast, peaceful and exuberant land of China, also known as “the spine of the world”.
Chinese ambassador to Thailand Guan Mu wrote the cover title in Chinese calligraphy for the album. Master V.Vajiramedhi, Director of Vimuttayalaya Institute, contributed a prelude for it and selected 100 Buddhist mottos to caption each photo.
V.Vajiramedhi said in the prelude that the publication of the album, as part of the Vimuttayalaya Institute’s charitable activities, would benefit not only the citizens of Thailand but all mankind.
The first edition of the album, sponsored by Thai Food Processors’ Association (TFPA) and DOFOOD CO., LTD. Thailand, has been printed 60,000 pieces, according to Lau.
“Proceedings from the sales of the album will go to the establishment of the Vimuttayalaya temple, a project led by master V.Vajiramedhi,” he added.
The 116-page album is printed with 128g art paper and with exquisite cover design. Priced at 159 baht, it is now available in Naiin, SE-ED, B2S, Chula Book center and other major bookstores.
