A Step Away from Paradise: The True ...

In Tibet there are legends about the Land of Immortality, a hidden valley hidden on the slopes of Mount Kanchenjunga. This valley exists in another reality where there is no death, disease or suffering--but it is located in our world and you don't have to die to get there. In the early 1960s, the charismatic lama Tulshuk Lingpa and three hundred followers set out in search of the hidden valley. This is a fascinating account of his expedition. Thomas C. Shore spent years of careful research to tell the incredible and fascinating story of Tulshuk Lingpa's life. The author spoke with members of that expedition, wandered the Himalayas, studied the culture and life of the peoples living there, delved into their mythology, and tried to make sense of the intricacies of the views of the indigenous inhabitants of Tibet.
