Anagarika Govinda and Robert A.F. Thurman's The Way of the White Clouds
Anagarika Govinda's The Way of the White Clouds, with a foreword by Robert A.F. Thurman, is a spiritual travel memoir and a deep look at Tibetan Buddhism. This modern classic was first published in 1966. It tells the story of Govinda's trek across the Tibetan plateau in the 1930s and 1940s, giving a rare, first-hand look at the religious rites, monasteries, and magical vistas of Tibet, which is now gone.
This book offers a profound look at faith, impermanence, and the beauty of the spiritual path. It combines Eastern philosophy, contemplative insight, and poetic observation.
