This is a true story of a spiritual journey and the incredible but
all too human love between a Western woman and a high reincarnate
Lama, the spiritual king of Bhutan. It is neither biographical nor
autobiographical. It is a play that arose and disappeared like an
illusion; A magical display of comedy and tragedy, history,
romance, and transcendence.
It should be of use to seekers everywhere. Written by Andrew
Harvey, author of "A Journey in Ladakh" and "Hidden Journey",
"Blessing Power of the Buddhas" could be considered a travel guide
to the magical in Himalayan Buddhist culture. Full of descriptions
and interesting stories, it is obvious that the author is intimate
with the land and people of the Himalayan region. Her description
of sacred iconography, miracles, relics and holy places provide a
wealth of meanings to consider. 'Sherap Pelbar, Shambhalla Sun,
Boulder, Colorado Nuggets of no fools gold riddle the lucid
semi-luminous prose of this book, written - with the healthily
sceptical awe of a true disciple' - Tsultrim Allione, "The Dzogchen
Community Newsletter". 'This is an interesting book combining the
thrill of physical travel with an inner spiritual journey. A sense
of wonder and mystery pervades the whole book and there is
freshness as well as experience. Her research - seems thorough. It
explores the relationship between physical manifestations of the
sacred with inner realisations. There are few books covering this
subject in such detail and it will appeal to those interested in
iconography as well as the esoteric aspect of Tibetan Buddhism' -
Gill Farer-Halls, "Buddhism Now".
