Meer over het boek

Amongst the strange events she describes are how Tibetan mystics can live naked in zero temperatures; how they can run incredible distances without rest, food or drink; how they utilize telepathy; and how they appear to defy gravity.About Author- Alexandra David-Neel (1868-1869), born in Paris to a socially prominent family, once boasted, I learned to run before I could walk! In the course of a lifetime of more than one hundred years, she was an acclaimed operatic soprano, a political anarchist, a religious reformer, an interpid explorer who traveled in Tibet for fourteen years, a scholar of Buddhism, and the author of more than forty books. But perhaps the most intriguing of all her adventures was the spiritual search that lead her from a youthful interest in socialism and Freemasonary to the teachings of the great sages in India and culminated into her initiation into the secret tantric practices of Tibetan Buddhism.
