'Brilliant and riveting. This book shows us that freedom is a
choice we can all make' Gelong Thubten, author of A Monk's Guide to
Happiness 'A fascinating story of an incredible life, told with
unflinching honesty' Dr John Sellars author of Lessons in Stoicism
___________________________________________________________________________________
Lama Yeshe didn't see a car until he was fifteen years old. In his
quiet village, he and other children ran through fields with yaks
and mastiffs. The rhythm of life was anchored by the pastoral
cycles. The arrival of Chinese army cars in 1959 changed
everything. In the wake of the deadly Tibetan Uprising, he escaped
to India through the Himalayas as a refugee. One of only 13
survivors out of 300 travellers, he spent the next few years in
America, experiencing the excesses of the Woodstock generation
before reforming in Europe. Now in his seventies and a leading monk
at the Samye Ling monastery in Scotland - the first Buddhist centre
in the West - Lama Yeshe casts a hopeful look back at his momentous
life. From his learnings on self-compassion and discipline to his
trials and tribulations with loss and failure, his poignant story
mirrors our own struggles. Written with erudition and humour, From
a Mountain in Tibet shines a light on how the most desperate of
situations can help us to uncover vital life lessons and attain
lasting peace and contentment.
