Sofie Gardestedt: Jewel in the Lotus ...
SOFIE GARDESTEDT is Swedish but lives in Brussels, where she works with European affairs. Sofie realised a long-nurtured dream in travelling to Tibet and came back inspired by the impressive, barren landscape and the teachings of Tibetan Buddhism.
This is a book for anyone who desires to travel to Tibet, be it in reality or in their dreams. It’s a poetic account of an inner and outer journey, through the facinating country of Tibet, weaving together the symbolism of Tibetan Buddhism with a personal experience of landscape and encounters.
And it’s a story about the realisation of dreams, with space between text and pictures for your own reflection. Give yourself time to read slowly, and let the significance of the words sink in. Let what you find between the lines sink in. As in life itself.
Touch the pages and feel the rugged, dry mountain landscape with your fingertips. Start by travelling in mind and soul, with your heart and senses, and see where it will bring you in real life…
