So,he read some of the passages of the book to me and I became interested in it in my mid twenties when he was reading the book. But, my father passed away in 1985 and I started getting Tibetan Buddhist initiations in I believe 1983 in Ashland Oregon when I lived nearby in Mt. Shasta California a couple of hours away by car or truck.
I was interested in what the author had to say about his experiences in Tibet. But, I didn't seriously study
Tibetan Buddhism with Tibetan Lamas in the U.S. and India and Nepal until my 30s.
By that time I was married and raising 3 children (two boys and a girl) in the 80s and
we traveled to India, Nepal, Thailand and Japan for 4 months from December of 1985 to April of
1986. We arrived in Bangkok Thailand after flying about 17 hours or 21 hours in real time after landing in Narito Airport in Japan around Sunset. Going this direction was interesting because we left about 9 am then flew around 12 hours only to see the sunset over Narito Airport in Japan 12 hours after 9 am which was unusual at the time because I hadn't flown back from Europe yet to San Francisco at that time. Then another flight that was likely 5 to 7 hours from Narito to Bangkok and we were in a completely different world than I had ever been in before.
From Bangkok it's a completely different world you are in from about Bangkok all the way to Anywhere in Europe that things start looking like you are used to here in the U.S. once again.
So, thinking you are on a completely different planet from Bangkok to Europe is pretty normal for Americans or Europeans in this area. Japan is so modern that you think you are in a Japantown in the U.S. somewhere in a big city somewhere like San Francisco or if you go to China you might think you are in a Chinatown in any big city in the U.S. like San Francisco too. But, beginning with Bangkok, Thailand and India and Nepal and the Middle East absolutely everything is going to be different than you are used to especially culturally, language wise and mores wise too simply because you are not dealing with primarily Christian cultures that sprang up from Europe but entirely different cultures on every single level that you have to figure out in order to find. way to stay alive there at all.
