Gene Smith became the unlikely mastermind of an international effort to rescue, preserve, digitize, and provide free access to the vast Tibetan Buddhist canon, many volumes of which had been lost or damaged during China's Cultural Revolution. Digital Dharma provides readers with extraordinary access to life inside Buddhist monasteries, to the rituals of Tibetan Buddhism, and to the insights of some of the world's leading lamas and lineage holders. Through hundreds of photographs taken during Smith's journey, we meet monks, local "publishers," scholars, and dignitaries involved in the preservation movement to which he dedicated his life.
