For nearly a decade, Matteo Pistono evaded Chinese security and smuggled out photos of prisons, secret documents, and firsthand interviews of torture victims and other atrocities committed by the Chinese government, giving them to the Dalai Lama, human rights organizations, the U.S. State Department, and anyone who would listen. Yet Pistono did not originally intend to fight for human rights in Tibet~he had gone there as a Buddhist pilgrim. Disillusioned by a career in American politics, Pistono went to live in the Himalayas. After encountering Buddhism in Nepal, his quest led him to Tibet and to a meditation master whose spiritual brother is Sogyal Rinpoche, author of The Tibetan Book of Living and Dying. Pistono not only became the master's student but also couriered messages to him in Tibet from the Dalai Lama in India. This began an extraordinary, and ultimately vital, adventure. In the Shadow of the Buddha is a book about Tibet through the eyes of a devotee~a stranger hiding in plain sight. It's about how a culture's rich spiritual past is slipping away against the force of a tyrannical future. It's about how Tibetans live today, and the tenacity of their faith in the future in spite of dire repression and abuse. It's also about Pistono's own journey of merging political activism with Buddhist mysticism, about a man who traveled thousands of miles and risked his own life to pursue freedom and peace. MATTEO PISTONO is a writer, photographer, political activist, and practitioner of Tibetan Buddhism. He lived and traveled throughout the Himalayas for a decade, bringing to the West firsthand accounts and photos of China's human rights abuses in Tibet. He is the founder of Nekorpa, a foundation working to protect sacred pilgrimage sites around the world.…
