Pero Posted September 16, 2009 Google it, there are several and it seems to me they're all available online. But after a quick glance I think it just BS. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Vajrahridaya Posted September 16, 2009 From some of the reactions and the authors other books. It seems like a New Agey interpretation of things. It can make you feel happy and inspired. I'm just assuming by the reviews though. So, I don't know for sure. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I read it.. and was like I don't see why a Taoist would recommend to read it. its about a guy who went to Tibet, though I doubt he really did because the teachers he meets all talk about God in a Christian sense which no Buddhists do. if you want a really good book filled with cool interesting mystical stories by Tibetans check out Tibetan Book of Living and Dying... or Crystal and the Way of Light Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
