Summary
Where does the search for truth lead?
When Tenzin Lahkpa is 15 years old, his parents give him over to a local temple in Tibet as an offering. Unable to change his fate, he wholeheartedly embraces his life as a monk and begins a quest for full enlightenment through the teachings of Buddhism.
From his local monastery to the famed Potala Palace in Lhasa, Tibet, he learns deep mysteries of Tibetan Buddhism. Yearning to study with the current Dalai Lama, he eventually escapes from China by means of an excruciating 2,000-mile secret trek over the Himalayas - barefoot, with no extra gear, changes of clothing, or money. His dream is realized when he finally sits under the Dalai Lama himself. But his desire to go deeper only grows, leading him to unexpected conclusions....
Follow the fascinating, never-before-told, true story of what causes a highly dedicated Tibetan Buddhist monk to make the radical decision to walk away from the teachings of Buddha and leave his monastery to follow Jesus Christ.

Harmful and unfair
This story paints such confused picture of Tibetan Buddhism. I was hoping that it would give realistic, rather than idealised by Westerners, account of everyday Tibetan spirituality. Instead it deliberately twists basic facts about Tibetan beliefs to put it in sharp contrast with Christian ideology. The book starts promising and then very quickly into simplistic black and white story. It is harmful and deceitful. Stay away from it.
