Tibet is a country imbued with spiritual significance. Despite the many hardships - distrustful authorities, the severe altitude, the climate, the physical exhaustion these cause - pilgrimage in sacred Tibet is a quest which no external factor can frustrate. This book offers both visionary and historical perspectives on the sacred realm, and includes a gazetteer describing the highlights of a tour of Tibet, with detailed, informed descriptions of the power places, mountains and lakes, caves, monasteries and temples.
