Description

“Part spy thriller, part Dharma travelogue, part spiritualautobiography . . . 100 percent page-turner.”
-Daniel Goleman, author of Emotional Intelligence

For nearly a decade, Matteo Pistono evaded Chinese security andsmuggled out photos of prisons, secret documents, and firsthandinterviews of torture victims and other atrocities committed by theChinese government. Yet Pistono had not initially gone to Tibet tofight for human rights-but as a Buddhist pilgrim.

After Pistono became the student of a venerated meditation masterin Tibet, he began couriering messages to him from the Dalai Lama inIndia. This began an extraordinary adventure. In the Shadow of theBuddha is both a vivid account of how Tibet’s rich spiritual pastis slipping away under repression, and the story of one man who mergedpolitical activism with Buddhist mysticism in pursuit of freedom andpeace.
