A story of happiness and sorrow, of failure and success, war and intrigue, passion and inner search defines Lenja's journey. She grows up with her adoptive sister Nyima and her wealthy parents in Eastern Tibet, in a world full of gods, spirits, and demons, yet also in the spiritual realm of Tibetan Buddhism. Driven by her greatest desire to become a yogini, a student on the tantric path, she finds masters and mistresses and learns the secret of spiritual partnership - a poignant tale of joy and suffering, failure and success, and the path to liberate oneself from both. A book featuring fascinating female figures who can inspire just as much today as they did in the past.
