Far Beyond the Garden Gate

I am delighted to have received Don Brown's book on the mail today.
It is a lovely edition for children and grown ups about Alessandra David-Neel and lama Yogden journey to Lhasa, the forbidden capital of Tibet.
It is illustrated with inspiriting and gracious drawings by pen and ink and watercolor on paper, lending a magic feeling to this special edition. A poetic account of the magical life of this extraordinary woman, Buddhist scholar, a Lama and Yogini, famous opera singer, and brilliant writer, who treaked through unknown geographic regions of Mongolia, China, India, Tibet and Bhutan at the age of 55 and beyond. She met realized masters, Yoginis, kings and the 13th Dalai Lama from whom she received encouragement, teachings and financial support for her adventures and efforts towards learning, meditating and writing about her own realizations and account.
This is a great and significant gift to inspire children of all ages.   Far Beyond the Garden Gate: Alexandra David-Neel's Journey to Lhasa
