Impressions of Tibet

We live busy lives surrounded by all kinds of noise, stress, and haste, constantly struggling with the art of managing our time. It is always a pleasant surprise when deeper values suddenly emerge, transcending those that seem most urgent at the time. The author's life once led her to the high peaks of the Himalayas, a place she returned to many times, particularly to Tibet. The beauty of the mountains, the simple lifestyle, the suffering of the local people, the cultural atmosphere, and the local spirituality triggered a flow of mixed and ultimately overriding emotions in the author, which she reflects on in this book. Drawing on her personal experience of living in the Far East for decades, this European author selects insights and moments tailored specifically for readers of our cultural background that are both enriching and inspire a sense of gratitude for our own roots.
