„This useful book focuses on the Karma Kagyu monasteries that now flourish in India and Nepal. It provides helpful background information about the origins of Buddhism, the Tibetan tradition and specifically the Karma Kagyu transmission. I am pleased to see too that the author reveals something of the actual way of life within the monasteries and how monastic training takes place.“
