Book Description
In these journals, writer and performer Stephen Clorfeine brings an experienced eye and heart-felt insight to daily life in Nepal, which reveals the rich complexity of its people and culture. Here is a place where ordinary reality is interlaced with peaceful and wrathful deities, with sacred caves, and with the mingled devotion of Hindu and Buddhist traditions. In the Valley of the Gods reflects the mindfulness, immediacy and compassion of the author's spiritual commitment and the directness and humor of both Nepalese and Tibetan communities. The beautiful prose is amply supported by lively photographs from the author's extended journeys to Nepal.Books:
