The Saffron Robe

High in the rarefied air of the Himalayas stands the great Lamasery of Potala. Here, as a young boy, Lobsang Rampa came to study the teachings of the Lord Buddha.Through the eyes of this young acolyte, we learn of the life of Prince Gautama and his discovery of the Middle Way, the Four Noble Truths, and the State of Nirvana.Those who have read of Lobsang Rampa's experiences in the lamaseries of Tibet will be greatly moved by this personal story of the transition of a daring, and a sometimes disobedient youth, into a serious, deep-thinking young man possessing quite exceptional sensory abilities.
