The Snow Leopard

Harry Hole Series

Peter Matthiessen

A spiritual and physical journey into the remote mountains of Nepal to study the Himalayan blue sheep and potentially glimpse the rare and beautiful Snow Leopard. In this influential American classic, the author, a student of Zen Buddhism, is also on a spiritual quest to find the Lama of Shey at the ancient shrine on Crystal Mountain. Follow along on this remarkable account as the arduous climb yields to the author a deepening Buddhist understanding of reality, suffering, impermanence, and beauty.
