Excerpt from Trans-Himalaya, Vol. 2 of 2: Discoveries and Adventures in Tibet
WE had heard of a lama who had lived for the last three years in a cave in the valley above the monastery of Linga, and though I knew that I should not be allowed to see either the monk or the interior of his ghastly dwelling, I would not miss the opportunity of at least gaining some slight notion of how he was housed.
