Detailed Product Description

Doubleday, Doran & Company, Inc., Garden City, New York, 1931, 1st edition. 310 pages, ills. The author was the wife of Himalayan explorer, Capt. John Noel. She had travelled in Tibet herself and knew her subject of Tibetan folklore well - the stories are narrated in a simple but gripping way. Chomo-Lung-Ma is Mount Everest, which remained unconquered in 1931 at the date of publication; the stories had grown up in the shadow of the great mountain.

'Perhaps one of the most fascinating stories of Tibet is that of Padma-Sambhava, the Lotus-born Saint who brought Bhuddism to that country from Udiana in Northern India. Legend tells that he traveled over the distant Himalayas, and that evil spirits of storm and tempest did their utmost to check him on his journey by venting the full force of their wrath against him: causing snowfalls and hail and wind, loosening avalanches in his path, and doing their utmost to prevent him from reaching his destination. Legend tells, too, that because of his holiness he had power to subdue the evil spirits and pass unscathed with his disciples into Tibet, carrying the teachings of the Lord Bhudda with him; and how, when he got there, the Pombo Lama, the teacher of the ancient faith, challenged him to prove that his teachings were true.' Hardcover, No DJ, Very Good.
