""Three Years in Tibet"" is a travelogue written by Ekai Kawaguchi, a Japanese Buddhist monk who spent three years in Tibet from 1900 to 1903. The book is a detailed account of his journey, which he made in order to study Tibetan Buddhism and to explore the land of the Dalai Lama. Kawaguchi's journey was not an easy one. He had to disguise himself as a Chinese doctor in order to enter Tibet, and he faced numerous challenges along the way, including harsh weather conditions, dangerous terrain, and hostile locals. Despite these difficulties, he was able to travel extensively throughout the country, visiting monasteries, meeting with lamas and other spiritual leaders, and learning about Tibetan culture and religion. Throughout the book, Kawaguchi provides vivid descriptions of the landscapes he encountered, from the towering Himalayas to the vast, windswept plains of Tibet. He also offers insights into the customs and beliefs of the Tibetan people, and reflects on the similarities and differences between Tibetan Buddhism and other forms of Buddhism. ""Three Years in Tibet"" is a fascinating and informative account of a remarkable journey, written by a keen observer and dedicated scholar of Buddhism. It offers a unique perspective on a country that was largely closed to outsiders at the time, and provides valuable insights into the spiritual and cultural heritage of Tibet.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
