Product Description

Product Description
On a pilgrimage to India, Jane Bay is accompanied by a Tibetan Buddhist monk, Lobsang Samten, through a series of adventures and spiritual passage that will change her life forever. Jane embarks on a journey to Tibet travelling again with her spiritual friend, Lobsang, who returns to his homeland for the first time in thirty eight years. Their dangerous mission takes them from the temples of Lhasa to towns brutalised by Chinese occupation, to destroyed monasteries, and remote nomadic outposts.

5.0 out of 5 stars A journey of surprises revealing a heroic struggle., 18 Sep 1998
By A Customer
"Woven through a stimulating journey, filled with the surprises of travel in such an exotic land, are the wonderful pearls of Pablo Neruda, the Vajra-and-Bell Initiation, words from one of my favorites Chief Seattle, teachings of the Great Perfection and many more. Jane Bay's journey and narrative is the thread that holds the "Jewels" of this necklace as one piece. But most important of all, I gained from her book a new appreciation for the heroic struggle of the precious Tibetan people."

5.0 out of 5 stars Highly recommended to anyone seeking inspiration., 11 Jun 1998
By A Customer
Jane Bay has written a poignant memoire about her mystical journey to Tibet. How insightful it is for us to observe the allegory of her spiritual unfoldment, from her wounded life to wounded Tibet. Indeed, modernism has resolved a number of vicissitudes at the superficial realm of existence, but it has simultaneously magnified a piercing existential dismemberment, while escaping the most fundamental plight of the human being: the aspiration to surpass oneself, like The Buddha. Jane Bay has experienced an intimate experience of felicity. I recommend "Precious Jewels of Tibet" to anyone probing the same everlasting question : Who am I ? Graciously echoed by Jane Bay' s gifted prose, this book is a window to the quintessential matters of the soul, a longing that is invested right now, for each of us, with a very vital meaning.
