Shambhala: The Road less traveled in Western Tibet, by Lawrence J. Brahm

Laurence J. Brahm goes in search of the mystical kingdom of Shambhala, hidden somewhere in the snow peaks of the Himalayas. He travels to Lhasa (Tibet) where he obtains the ancient Buddhist scripture, Shambhala Sutra, stolen from Tashilumbo Monastery. He uses this scripture as a map, travelling into the most remote regions of mountainous Tibet, to find this mystical place. In the end, he discovers that he is not looking for a place, and discovers his very own Shambhala - his very own place of peace
