Description

<p><strong><em>Have you ever awoken from a vivid dream and wondered which side of waking was real?</em></strong></p><p>Burt Higgins' retirement is not going well. His children have grown, and his wife has gone off to earn a late-life degree, leaving him alone in his sprawling suburban home. With too much time on his hands, he broods on the state of the world, obsessively following the worst of cable news and the Internet. Increasingly angry at the state of affairs, he nurtures a fantasy that a dark lord from another realm has foisted these problems on humankind. If only he could transport to that world, he'd confront the demon and use the magic found there to defeat the beast and end despair forever.</p><p>On a particularly bad news day, while housebound in the midst of a snowstorm, he retreats to his study to shut out the world and immerse himself in his books. When, on a whim, he lights a candle purchased in an obscure Prague curiosity shop, a magical guide appears and offers to take him on whatever quest he chooses. When he asks to become a hero in a fantasy realm, he discovers a more complex world than he expected, and battling evil with magic turns out to be far from his greatest challenge.</p><p><strong>EVOLVED PUBLISHING PRESENTS</strong> a specualtive fantasy adventure sure not just to entertain you, but to make you consider your life, your dreams, your goals.

Story Behind The Book

Reviews

<p align="justify">A delightful and ingenuous autobiography of a modern day Chod master, who practices the very rare Zhije as well as Chod. Though living the traditional lifestyle of a wandering yogin in modern-day Tibet, it may turn out that these ancient, exotic practices are perfectly relevant right now.<br /> -<strong>Sarah Harding</strong>, author of <em>Machik's Complete Explanation</em>.</p> <p align="justify">Lama Wangdu's vivid descripion of pilgrimage to 108 cremation grounds, and his teacher's interpretation of his experiences, take us into a world where each experience is seen symbolically, as it arises. His selfless compassion and profound faith epitomizes the lineage of Machig Labdron and Dampa Sangye.<br /> -<strong>Tsultrim Allione</strong>, author of <em>Feeding Your Demons</em> and <em>Women of Wisdom</em>.</p> <p align="justify">A mesmerizing portrait of a well-known master who grew up a devout student and ascetic yogi in a society of onderment and intrigue in Southern Tibet. The essence of the book is the spell-binding descriptions of his ever-giving love and service to all, rich or poor, as a Buddhist teacher and healer.<br /> -<strong>Tulku Thondup Rinpoche</strong>, author of <em>The Healing Power of Mind</em> and <em>Peaceful Death, Joyful Rebirth</em>.</p> <p align="justify">The Chod, Dzogchen yogas and pilgrimage that Lama Wangdu alludes to are at the root of existential Buddhism. They deserve immediate attention from everyone concerned with their ultimate spiritual health.<br /> -<strong>Keith Dowman</strong>, author of <em>Sky Dancer</em> and <em>Flight of the Garuda. </em></p>
