Tibetans believe that Shambhala is the legendary hidden Kingdom. In their every day life, Tibetans practice the vision of Shambhala believing that it creates a society that enables them to express the dignity of human existence and a way to live meaningful lives. While the world around them has lost sight of the truth and religion, and has degenerated into power struggles, warfare, and materialism.

Photographer Jo Farrell is a black and white documentary photographer, born in London, England, who over the past five years has concentrated her work on Tibet and China. Her photographic projects are social and cultural anthropological studies, capturing traditions and cultures before they are erased from our memory forever.
