Way Of The White Clouds The

The classic spiritual travelogue by one of Tibet’s best-known explorers The Way of the White Clouds is the remarkable narrative of a pilgrimage which could not be made today. In 1948 Lama Anagarika Govinda made an unforgettable journey into Tibet before its invasion by the Chinese. His unique account is not only a spectacular and gloriously poetic story of exploration and discovery; it is also invaluable for its sensitivity and clearly presented interpretation of the Tibetan tradition. Above all this book is a vivid and beautifully written account of a personal spiritual journey his meeting with his guru Tomo Geshé Rimpoché and his growing understanding of and commitment to the Vajrayana tradition of Buddhism.
