About this title

Synopsis

This first-hand account of Tibetan life within a sacred society prior to the Chinese invasion is the most complete and definitive work to date on the subject of Islam in Tibet. It reveals fascinating interplay between the traditional cultures of Islam and Buddhism; the spiritual lives of these very different traditions recognize one another at a level behind external forms.
