It was a brilliant, joyous, inspired culture whose sciences, arts, and even politics flowed from spiritual beliefs and practices. That culture was shattered suddenly and forever in 1950, when the Chinese invaded Tibet. Austrian mountaineer Heinrich Harrer had been in Tibet for seven years when his time in Lhasa came to a swift end. As he fled, he brought with him negatives of the pictures he had been taking with left-behind film and borrowed cameras, pictures documenting life in Lhasa, candid images of the people who had made him almost one of their own.
