He becomes interested in Buddhism and begins to study the sacred teachings, then travels to India with friends, and treks into the mountains where he meets an old Lama who agrees to be his teacher. He experiences one adventure after another in this epic novel you will never forget. Find out more about this wondrous part of the world as you also learn some the secrets found in the Tibetan Buddhist teachings that few have ever come to understand.
