Kalon Tripa Samdhong Rinpoche launched the book on the 73rd birthday of His Holiness the Dalai Lama on 6 July 2008.

The book provides account of how Tibetan culture flourished on the roof of the world for thousands of years and became greatly enriched when Buddhism was introduced to Tibet starting from the 7th century.

It vividly chronicles the rehabilitation and reconstruction of cultural, monastic and educational institutions of Tibet in exile, followed by Tibetan people's efforts in preserving and promoting what the Chinese authorities have destroyed in Tibet.

Establishment of schools, monasteries and cultural institutions have provided renewed opportunities for new generations of Tibetans to study Tibetan medicine and other disciplines of Tibet's cultural and spiritual heritage.

The rebuilding works followed a gradual progress to the inception of a cohesive democratic and functioning community that is able to look after all the needs of the Tibetan refugees, including providing educational opportunities to coming generations of Tibetans.

It highlights the ongoing efforts of His Holiness the Dalai Lama and the Central Tibetan Administration in finding a mutually beneficial solution of Tibet under the Middle-Way Approach.

The pictorial book on Tibet aims to re-connect young Tibetans to their homeland and serve as a basic introduction to non-Tibetans to the land and people of Tibet.
