Introduction

An incognito English incarnation of an early 20 century Tibetan Lama returns to the Himalayas in 1975, after three years at Art School in Bristol. He continues his training in Bodhanath, Nepal, with Kyabjé Düd’jom Rinpoche -- the Head of the Nyingma Tradition.

Training and Acceptance

He is referred to the ferocious Künzang Dorje Rinpoche in Tso Pema -- for training in Dzogchen Men-ngag-dé. A harrowing month of interrogatory harangues ensues - but he is finally accepted, not simply as a disciple, but as a heart-son.

Return and Revelations

He returns to Düd’jom Rinpoche to recount his experience. He is given instructions and predictions. He will reveal the Aro gTér when he commences life as a Lama in the West - but first he must find a consort. She will make everything possible - but how he will find her proves challenging.

Journey and Challenges

He travels between Bodhanath and Tso Pema - but time is running out. He returns to Britain periodically to earn the wherewithal for further sojourns in the Himalayas. He has no guidelines for how to proceed in the West - other than the predictions of his Lamas.
