Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from A Message From Batang
Whatever was difficult, whatever was tiresome, whatever trials he had on his long journey, he made no complaint in his little book, and it could not have been all easy.
The knowledge he gained that no one before him had hitherto acquired, especially concerning the great Litang Monastery, has the right to be given to the world through his name.
On seeing the solitary grave three days out from Batang, if then the tragedy of his fate entered his soul, we can never know; but if it did he came off victor from the struggle, and bowed his head in submission to the Higher Will, and we are the losers. His ability, his knowledge is lost, such a loss I could never make you know or feel.
SO many worlds, so much to do. So little done, such things to be; How know I what had need of thee, For thou wert strong as thou wert true.
