| Publisher Description: Sarah Truman's closely observed jaunt in China and Tibet offers some priceless scenes, from trying to hilarious. How lucky she is to be watched over in her travels by the gentle, lively Bodhisattva of Compassion Kwan Yin.--Sandy Boucher, author of Discovering Kwan Yin Sarah E. Truman explores a lifelong affinity with Guan Yin in a two-year journey through China filled with unexpected encounters. She portrays China as a country where life is rooted in raw, street-level survival, and where Guan Yin can only be experienced after all concepts, preconceived notions, and spiritual illusions are abandoned. |
