Description
A Step Away from Paradise: The True Story of a Tibetan Lama's Journey to a Land of Immortality by Thomas K. Shor In the early 1960s, a charismatic lama named Tulshuk Lingpa embarked on an extraordinary expedition to a hidden valley in the Himalayas, said to hold the secret to immortality. Against the wishes of local kings, he and over 300 followers ventured up the slopes of the third-highest mountain, seeking to unlock the mysteries of the universe. Forty years later, author Thomas K. Shor spent five years tracking down the surviving members of this expedition, weaving their stories together with humor, wisdom, and scholarly research into Tibetan traditions of hidden lands. The result is a riveting tale of adventure, honesty, and insight into the human quest for transcendence. Through this remarkable story, Shor reflects on the enduring power of the human spirit and the importance of embracing the unknown.
