Summary:
"It was the early 1960s. The place, a far-off corner of the Himalayas long fabled in
Tibetan
tradition to be hiding a valley of
immortality
among its peaks and glaciers--a real-life Shangri-La. They waited generations for the prophesied
lama
to come, the one with the secret knowledge of how to ‘open’ the Hidden
Land
. Then, one day, he came. His name was Tulshuk Lingpa. This book tells the
true
story
of this charismatic visionary
lama
and his remarkable expedition. Against the wishes of the kings of both Sikkim and Nepal, he and over three hundred followers ventured up the snowy slopes of the third highest mountain of the planet. Their aim: to open a crack in the very fabric of reality and go to a
land
we would all wish to inhabit if it were only there --a
land
of peace and concord. Forty years later, the author spends over five years tracking down the surviving members of this extraordinary expedition. He deftly weaves their stories together with humor, wisdom, and scholarly research into
Tibetan
traditions of Hidden Lands, all the while reflecting on what this means for the rest of us."--From publisher.
