THREE YEARS IN TIBET  (Paperback, EKAI KAWAGUCHI)

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 -: 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).
