Religione e Spiritualità
An enlightening memoir about one man testing his mind and body while traveling to one of nature’s most spiritual places to explore Buddhist beliefs.
Now considered a classic among readers interested in Tibetan Buddhism and pilgrimages of the spirit of all kinds, A Journey in Ladakh is Andrew Harvey's spiritual travelogue of his arduous journey to one of the most remote parts of the world—the highest, least populated region in India, cut off by snow for six months each year. Buddhists have meditated in the mountains of Ladakh since three centuries before Christ, and it is there that the purest form of Tibetan Buddhism is still practiced today.
“An exceptional book, one whose magic is compounded by a singular blending of the wondrous and the commonplace, the sacred and the hilarious.” —Washington Post Book World
“The spiritual journey is connected at every point by the geographical . . . He is made poignantly aware of the vulnerability of Ladakh, in which an ancient, peaceful culture, dominated by the great monasteries, is threatened by the encroaching Westernization of the world.” —New York Times Book Review
“Even the most blemished readers will feel that they could improve their spirituality without really trying if they spent more time in Ladakh.” —Award–winning author Martin Amis
