Publisher's summary

Finding a fascinating and gratifying medical practice in Kathmandu saved his medical career, but befriending a reincarnate Tibetan lama transformed his life.

This compellingly written memoir is a grand adventure tale of travel in Nepal and Tibet, tense and highly emotional medical encounters, new romances, and groundbreaking medical research. But all these eventually take a back seat to what the author learns about Tibetan Buddhism and the ability to train in compassion. The author reveals the details of his personal tutoring in Buddhism and his gradual exposure to mysteries and hard-to-explain events that he personally witnesses. For all the listeners who dream about what it might be like to travel to the Himalayas and achieve a genuine spiritual connection, this book is the story of how that dream can come true.

Surprising, sincere, heartfelt and incredible

Every moment of this book resonated with me deeply and made me feel as though good things do happen in the world, and we can foster more of them through our own compassion. David lends a richly inspiring and motivating account of Buddhist principles, yet an accessible one too. I feel his words would land with even those new to Buddhist studies. He’s also just a wonderful storyteller, and this book transports the listener to so many exotic places and adventures. Surprising, sincere, heartfelt and incredible– I loved this book.
