About four years ago when I happened to look into the history of Tibet, I was intrigued that many well-researched works of scholars in both the 'West' and the 'East' presented a very different picture from those of the public media; frequently there seems to be a different and opposite side to the story.

When I first travelled to Tibet in 2007, hers barren high plateaus, snowcapped mountains, and fast-running big rivers, and the dedication of her simple people to Buddhism was so over-powering that I was absolutely in awe and thunder-struck. I wanted to tell everything about Tibet.

Instead of recounting well-reported history, I decided to write a fiction-thriller embedded into which are fragments of her history: religion, heritage and relations with foreign powers. Through the archaeological expedition, its particpants and adversaries, I attempted to explain Tibetan Buddhism not only as a religion, but also as a political institution, foreign-power interference from the British, the Nazis, the CIAs, and her relations with China from both a state and personal level. The book is a fiction embedded into history,or vice versa.

My journey of discovery of things of Tibet continues as of to date.
