A Journey In Ladakh

I finished A Journey In Ladakh by Andrew Harvey this morning. It took me a while to get through this 242 page book, I think in large part because it inspires the reader to a self-reflective journey. As with most books about Buddhism, the read itself is a journey. It was interesting to follow Harvey on this particular Journey and see the experience from his perspective.

If you decide to read this I recommend skipping the Afterwards. After this lovely spiritual journey Harvey cannot resist sharing his negative political perspective that, while a part of the journey, sours the palate.
