The Power Places of Central Tibet, by Keith Dowman

"Tibet is now *open to anyone* wishing to explore its ancient culture. This book, based on a nineteenth-century guide for Tibetan pilgrims by the renowned Lama Jamyang Kyentse Wangopo , describes the location, site, relics and background to places of major religious and historic significance. To complete the guide, the author followed in Jamyang Kyentse's footsteps, visiting 150 temples, monasteries, sacred caves, lakes and mountains."
