The Way of the White Clouds: The Classic Spiritual Travelogue by One of Tibet’s Best-known Explorers

First published in 1966, THE WAY OF THE WHITE CLOUDS is the remarkable narrative of a pilgrimage which could not be made today. Lama Anagarika Govinda was among the last to journey through Tibet before its invasion by the Chinese. His unique account is not only a spectacular and gloriously poetic story of exploration and discovery; it is also invaluable for its sensitive and clearly presented interpretation of the Tibetan tradition. ‘Why is it that the fate of Tibet has found such a deep echo in the world? There can only be one answer: Tibet has become the symbol of all that present-day humanity is longing for.’ - Lama Anagarika Govinda
