Alexander David-Neel (1868–1969)-singer, poetess and composer-at 43, unexpectedly leaves the Paris Opera Scene for everyone to go to India. For fourteen years she wandered through the expanses of the Buddhist East. She lived in Burma, visited Japan, in Korea, in China and of course in the country of her dreams - Tibet. Tibet, the “country of the gods”, one of the main metaphysical chakras of the planet, the sacred pole, where the Earth meets with the sky, where traditional knowledge has been preserved in its original purity, where everything - monks and robbers, ascetics and shamans - are looking for immortality. There, David-Neael became a student of the Dalai Lama, where she gained deep respect of the Buddhists and Lamaists of the East. What prompted her to settle among the Tibetan lamas and sorcerers of all stripes, how she comprehended the theory and practice of the mystics andocultists there, as well as the amazing circumstances of the complete adventure of traveling to the country of snow-the real book is telling about all this, which experts consider a kind of encyclopedia of everyday life, philosophical doctrines and folk beliefs of the Tibetans
