I read T Lobsang Rampa's The Third Eye few years back and since then I have been craving to read good books on Tibet. I am glad I found this book which satisfied my hunger on information about Tibet.
Heinrich Harrer is one of those author who not only experiences a new place but he lives it and adapts to it. He has displayed it beautifully in this book. Conflict between his modern European thinking with that of a simple religious social life of Tibet is refreshing. He tries to give as much as objective account as possible. Highlight of the book was his interactions with His Holiness. After reading this book, one is left wondering about spirituality and age old traditions which are hard to comprehend but seem so easy.

Good
