About this product
Product Information
"The Heart of the World" recounts an extraordinary journey into one of the most inaccessible places on earth, and a pilgrimage to the heart of Tibetan Buddhism. Tibetan prophecies proclaim that the greatest of "beyul," or mystical sanctuaries, lies at the eastern edge of the Himalayas, veiled by a colossal waterfall in the forbidding Tsangpo gorge. After years of investigation, world-class climber and Buddhist scholar Ian Baker and his "National Geographic"sponsored team made worldwide news by finding a magnificent 108-foot-high waterfallthe legendary grail of both Western explorers and Tibetan pilgrims.
