The Great Dragon's Fleas

From the Best selling Author of what the Buddha Never Taught comes a new metaphysical travel adventure. Exotic, entertaining and deeply thought provoking, this is the story of Tim Ward's search for enlightened monks and mystics in the course of his two year sojourn through Asia. Along the way he meets the Dalai Lama, stays at the ashram of Sai Baba, and in Ladakh studies under the Great Dragon, a reincarnated Tibetan Lama.

Yet it is the unknown Bodisattvas who affect Tim most deeply: individuals who practice compassion in the midst of Asia's most wretched poverty and strife, such as Torquil, a poor Bangladeshi social worker struggling to set up a self help group for destitute women, who invites Tim to visit him in his village home.

The Great Dragon's Fleas is sure to appeal to anyone interested mysticism, faith, occult powers, enlightenment, and the ancient cultures of a vast and mysterious continent.
