Title: New-age claptrap
Review: I was quite disappointed in this book. It was billed as "a fictional account based on a true story," but I have considerable doubts about the "true" part. I thought it would have something to do with Nepal or Tibetan Buddhism, but it turns out that after the first chapter, it turns into an account of the "master's" lectures on new-age philosophy to the eager apprentice. The lectures aren't even very factual about Tibetian Buddhism-- instead it is about "auras" and "psychic vibrations" and the "Atlantean schools of mysticism"-- that is, the usual California school of new-age philosophy. If you're into new-age, this may be the book for you. If you want to know about Tibet, or about Buddhism, look somewhere else.
