About the Book- About the book -: This book gives a clear picture on Tibetan culture during 1900. As a travel story it is very exciting. The author has taken lots of pain in completing this journey. And most significant is his effort in forwarding the appeal for release of his friends to Dalai lama through the king of Nepal. The author remained there 3 years observing everything around him. Book has a description of local society, religion, customs, marriages, funerals, appointment of Lamas including the Dalai Lama, government, punishment, ignorance, superstition, cleanliness (or the opposite) and practically everything else you could think of (including the relationship with China) is fascinating and a must-read for anyone wanting to understand the present situation with China and the world.

 

About the Author- About The Author -: Ekai Kawaguchi (1866 – 1945) was a Japanese Buddhist monk, who was famed for his four journeys to Nepal (in 1899, 1903, 1905 and 1913) and two to Tibet (July 4, 1900–June 15, 1902, 1913–1915). He was the first recorded Japanese citizen to travel to either country. He worked as the Rector of the Zen Gohyakurakan Monastery (Gohyaku-rakan-ji) in Tokyo (a large temple that contains 500 rakan icons). He then spent about three years as a hermit in Kyoto studying Chinese Buddhist texts and learning Pali, to no use, and he ran into political squabbles even as a hermit. He wrote the book three year in Tibet (1909).
