About this book
Lama Anagarika Govinda was one of the last foreigners to journey through Tibet before the Chinese invasion of 1950. A devoted Buddhist and a spokesman for Tibetan culture Govindas luminous and candid account is a spectacular and gloriously poetic story of exploration and discovery and a sensitive and lucid interpretation of Tibetan traditions. Robert Thurmans perceptive new introduction to the volume places Govindas writings in historical context and opens a new door on understanding Tibet Buddhism and the life of a remarkable man who as Thurman remarks is "undoubtedly one of the Wests greatest minds of the twentieth century a member of the pantheon that includes Einstein Heisenberg Wittgenstein Solzhenitsyn Gandhi and the Dalai Lama."
