Shangri-la, the Land of Snows, the Roof of the World; for centuries the myateriuos Buddhist kingdom of Tibet, locked away in its mountain fastness of the Himalaya, has exercised a unique hold on the imagination of the west. The Jesuits, hearing rumours of Tibet in far away Goa, believed it to harbour a long-lost community of Christians, the Land of Prester John. For adventurers and traders it was a land of treasure and riches. Those on a spiritual quest whispered of a lost land steeped in magic and mystery. |
