Soft cover. Condition: New. My Journey to Lhasa by Alexandra David-Neel is a captivating memoir of the author's daring and extraordinary journey to Tibet in the early 20th century. In this work, David-Neel recounts her arduous and often perilous trek through the Himalayan Mountains to reach Lhasa, the sacred heart of Tibetan Buddhism. At the time, Tibet was largely closed off to foreigners, and the journey was both physically challenging and fraught with political and cultural obstacles. David-Neel, a French explorer and scholar, adopted the guise of a pilgrim to gain access to the Forbidden City. Her narrative offers vivid descriptions of the landscapes, customs, and spiritual practices she encountered along the way. She also shares her deepening understanding of Tibetan Buddhism and its mysticism. My Journey to Lhasa not only serves as a travelogue but also provides profound insights into the philosophy and spiritual life of Tibet, making it a groundbreaking work in Western understanding of the region.
