About the author

Established two-and-a-half millennia ago, Buddhism continues to touch being's hearts worldwide as a path leading to understanding the true nature of one’s mind. The qualities of love, acceptance and tranquility, so essential for individual, and therefore universal peace, well-being and happiness are developed by the techniques of meditation taught by the Buddha, and practised in everyday living.
Be invited onto a pilgrimage within which starts in old India, 2500 years ago when Buddha Shakyamuni was born as a prince. The trip further leads up to meeting the particular lineage of a Living Buddha by the name of Gyalwa Karmapa. Lord Buddha had himself prophesied this lineage during his lifetime, saying that the Gyalwang Karmapas were to reincarnate until Buddhist teachings were no longer needed. This book illustrates the sacred world of a religious leader who fled Tibet in 2000, a saint as illustrious and charismatic as H. H. The Dalai Lama, his lineage and monasteries. In her unique and personal way, Lama Palmo intimately introduces the reader to the seemingly esoteric subject of Buddhism and monasticism, to the soothing heart of Buddhism in a fresh and modern language. Follow the trails of an intrepid traveler of the world and the soul
“This useful book focuses on the Karma Kagyu monasteries that now flourish in India and Nepal. It provides helpful background information about the origins of Buddhism, the Tibetan tradition and specifically the Karma Kagyu transmission. I am pleased to see too that the author reveals something of the actual way of life within the monasteries and how monastic training takes place.”
From the foreword by H. H. The Dalai Lama
