Dharmabound: A Journey Of 100,000 Miles To Inner Peace

As a professor, Lynn Gardner spent her entire career recognizing and nurturing potential. She came to understand, however, that she wasn't cultivating her own potential. She loved her career, her family, and her husband, but she wanted a new challenge. Her odyssey led her to ten years of exploration in Bhutan, India, Tibet, and China. As she had adventure after adventure, she began dedicating herself to the study of Buddhist principles. Gardner had the extraordinary opportunity to meet some of the most respected Buddhist teachers in the world. She studied under Gangteng Tulku Rinpoche of the Tibetan Buddhist Nyingma lineage, visited the secret cave of the saint Manjushri, and even hid inside the walls of a Buddhist monastery in Tibetan China as the police conducted a raid. Her travels highlight the plight of Buddhist adherents in places where their faith is not welcome. Now, Gardner reflects on both her spiritual and physical journeys among monks, nuns, and other travelers. Her love for the unknown is matched only by her respect for ancient customs and traditions. Part travelogue, part inspirational memoir, part introduction to Buddhism, Dharmabound invites you on a journey to faraway places.
