New edition of the Tibet classic by the best-selling author.
Maili is fascinated by the western world, but there is so much that she does not understand: Why do the people laugh so little? Why are they always in a hurry and inpatient? Why do they think so much and believe so much in what they think?
Far away from her monastery in Kathmandu, she has to teach westerners at a Buddhist centre in England who are seeking knowledge and inner peace in Tibetan Buddhism. Sarah, the manager of the centre, helps Maili to get over one or another “culture shocks”. Nadine, the partner of fascinating Shonbo Rinpoche, gives advice on problems with Sönam. Sönam, just like his young wife, must first learn what it means to have a tantric marriage. One day, one of their pupils tries to commit suicide. Plagued by feelings of guilt, Maili flees back to her monastery and chooses the radical path of a retreat in complete darkness in order to hear the “twilight voice”, the voice of innermost wisdom.
