Features: The legendary pure and sacred Tibet, beyond mystery, what else? Beyond religion, what else? Beyond the lingering memories of travelers, what else? Beyond the amazement of adventurers, what else? Wen Pulin, through a decade of travel life, tells us—daily life like water is the essence of Tibetan culture. Beautiful Asu, how many moving legends. The Living Buddha, the grasslands, the Kamba warriors, butter, milk tea, Ajara. Maybe she isn’t Shangri-La, but her tranquility is dreamlike and ethereal.
Bagha Living Buddha is the 6th reincarnation of Geshe Kachupa D?nden Zengye, the "spiritual hero" of the grasslands, possessing extraordinary personal charm. The author records a rich journey across the Kamba land, especially the deep friendship with Bagha Living Buddha. Over the years, his heart-to-heart interactions with Bagha Living Buddha have delved directly into the core of Tibetan life—Tibetan Buddhism. In fact, he has come very close to the life attitudes and psychological states of ordinary Tibetans. For a Tibetan, religion is not a vivid outer garment; it is purely tied to their bloodline, thus becoming the fundamental meaning of their lives.
