Book Description
Tibet's only novel, a parable for all time, combines intrigue, romance, war, and religion in a rousing adventure story set within the context of a traditional Buddhist worldview. The story revolves around a prince and his love for a neighboring princess. They marry, but the prince's spiritual quest parallels the life of Buddha. Author Rgyal lived from 1697 to 1763 and held many important government posts in Tibet, including that of prime minister. Rgyal's novel is an exquisite work of world literature.
