The Beauty Of High Hills

Sikkim, Bhutan and Tibet, these are the lands of fairy forests, strange and beautiful lands inhabited by kindly talkative folk who will on occasion tell a traveler of the miraculous. These stories all recount the prowess of the Lord Buddha, who, when he rose from his Lotus Throne in the mountains beyond the Shali, came to the lands of the Thunderbolt in order to subdue the evil who dwelt there. These are the nursery tales of the Land of Snow.
