Reviews

[Tim Shaw · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is a YA book I read in the BOOK not "Kindle Edition" -- I highly recommend it for the specificity of young people who are inside this Religious Tradition and for the timely cultural knowledge the author Fleur Bradley offers to her YA readers. The world needs more understanding of the
Theravada / Tibetan Buddhist traditions and adherents in this part of the 2020s.
Sadly, due to the corrupt interference of Chinese Communist repression and cultural subversion., The current Dalai Lama who resides in Dharmasala, India may or may offer continuity and privilege for the carrying on of the selection of who comes next as a new generational Spiritual Proponent. 5 * out of 5.
