The Himalayan, Mirror Lake (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9798993058214)

"Go to the Himalayas. There, seek the Great Buddha."

With these words, a young boy sets out on a journey that will reshape not only his own life, but the lives of those he meets. Drawn by a call he doesn't fully understand, he leaves behind the known and enters the sacred hush of the Himalayas, a world of monasteries, mountain paths, and ancient wisdom carried forward in quiet acts of courage.

On the road, he is guided by Buddhist monks, an embassy official, and a Sherpa girl whose quiet strength becomes a steady presence. At the heart of the mountains, he finds the Arboretum, a hidden refuge of knowledge, and meets the Himalayan, a Buddhist activist and guardian of tradition. Through stories of exile, loss, and resilience, the boy learns that the Dharma is not only peace and prayer, but a force of memory and protection.

As his journey continues, he teaches children in a remote village, blending spiritual insight with song, play, and language. In a monastery, he learns stillness, discipline, and the deeper call to service. And at last, standing before the Great Buddha carved into the mountain, he realizes the true purpose of his quest: to carry what he's received forward.

A story of awakening, teaching, and return, The Himalayan, Mirror Lake is a timeless spiritual fable. Set against the vast silence of the Himalayas and the still waters of a sacred lake, it is a journey into purpose, where truth is preserved through presence, and the sacred is passed from one generation to the next.
