Summary: Alexandra David Neel in Disguise
Comment: Although credited to her adopted Tibetan son - Lama Yongden, this book was cearly written by Alexndra David Neel, the amazing explorer of Tibet and practitioner of Tantric Tibetan Buddhism. A thoroughly enjoyable read, this is the story of a young Tibetan named Mipam who is alleged, at birth, to be a reincarnated being. In the course of his adventures (the book covers approximately 18 years of his life) he encounters romance, mystery, magic, and al manner of intrigue. The ending is a wonderful twist in the plot.

Summary: Mipam - Searching Book
Comment: This book is the story of a Tibetan named Mipam and his journey to find his place in life. Mipam is designated as a lama as an infant, and he allows fate to take him from one destination in life to the next. It is the story of a searcher who follows the omens which guide him from one point in his life to the next. The text itself is translated into English, but the language remains very Tibetan. Although this is a book of fiction, I do feel as though I learned about Tibet, its people, and its beliefs. Mipam is an enjoyable story. Sometimes it gets a little heavy. It is one of those books which can be followed for either the plot or the moral of the story.
