Book excerpt: Consider embarking on either on your own spiritual journey or a simple adventure story. Or hooking on to both at the same time: this epic tale relates the mystical travels of a Tibetan monk who must flee his homeland after Chinese occupation. He is known as a Gatherer, a seeker of knowledge, and he travels the globe searching for a lost book. He is always running from the clutches of chaos that threaten him in many forms - as agents of the Chinese or as a dark force of unloved spirits. The monk, who is now the new Tenzin or leader, finds his love, Dorjie, in Kathmandu, and her memory sustains him as he travel the ancient world. He is exposed to Sufi religion of Afghanistan, spends time in Egypt studying Gnostic texts and encounters Eslam and Christianity in Europe. He learns to trust his intuition while being surrounded by remarkable characters. But it's not until he reaches the peaks of Machu Picchu in Peru that his has a transformative experience that nearly shatters his soul. Without spoiling the ending, the monk ends his journey in none other than Sunshine Coast of British, Columbia.
