Book Description
In 1937, Theos Casimir Bernard (1908--1947), the self-proclaimed "White Lama,"
became the third American in history to reach Lhasa, the capital city of Tibet.
During his stay, he amassed the largest collection of Tibetan texts, art, and
artifacts in the Western hemisphere at that time. He also documented, in both
still photography and 16mm film, the age-old civilization of Tibet on the eve of
its destruction by Chinese Communists.
Based on thousands of primary sources and rare archival materials, "Theos
Bernard, the White Lama" recounts the real story behind the purported adventures
of this iconic figure and his role in the growth of America's religious
counterculture. Over
