"Wise's sections make for an absorbing travelogue."
--Kirkus Reviews
"A lively circumambulation of Asia's holy mountain in Tibet,
illuminated by Tenzin Thurman's passionate teachings."
--Peter Matthiessen, author of The Snow Leopard
"A fine adventure and a brilliant direct pipeline to the ancient
teachings of Tibet."
--Jack Kornfield, author of A Path With Heart
"This extraordinary book is a dream come true. Who would not wish
to be taken on pilgrimage to the holiest mountain in the world by a
golden-tongued giant of a teacher? It is not the altitude that
takes our breath away as we read, it is the living force of
Professor Thurman's dharma. By his own example, he makes us see
that it is indeed possible to go to pieces without falling
apart."
--Mark Epstein, M.D., author of Going to Pieces Without Falling
Apart
"Pilgrimage is a timeless spiritual practice, a way to transform
ourselves and awaken to the natural holiness of life. Go on this
spiritual adventure with one of our preeminent Tibetan tour guides,
wise Bob, and his friend and fellow pilgrim, Tad. Take up this
book; circumambulate this holy power place. Join the sacred
circle."
--Lame Surya Das, author of Awakening the Buddha Within
"This is no mere tale of a trek. Deep Buddhist wisdom, driven from
the Himalayas by blind arrogance, has been given no choice but to
search the world for new hearts and homes. To embrace this book, to
circle its radiant inner mountain, is to defy Chinese occupation
and harbor Tibet's exiled, ever-joyous soul."
--David James Duncan, author of The River Why and The Brothers
K
"Tibetan Buddhism has recently become fashionable in the West...but
Thurman and Wise gobeyond the buzz to demonstrate that it is also a
religion rich in history and teaching, complex in myth and
story...The tale of this pilgrimage--part high adventure, part
Buddhist instruction--is certain to empower and inspire readers on
their own spiritual adventures.
--New Age
