About this book

Mipam: The Lama of the Five Wisdoms (English and Tibetan Edition) by Yongden, Lama. paperback edition. ISBN: 9780887065323.

This story, drawn from old Tibetan folk tales, has the psychological depth of a western novel. It is a love story woven around the search for the missing reincarnation of a great Lama. Along the way we glimpse a people whose spirituality is as exalted as the Himalayas. There is humor as well, when the hero encounters a bewildering group of Christian missionaries. In the depiction of Chinese culture, and the Chinese merchants of Tibet, there is a foreshadowing of the country’s tragic fate.
