Matthiessen, a student of Zen Buddhism, was also on a spiritual quest to find the Lama of Shey at the ancient shrine on Crystal Mountain. The result is a remarkable account of a journey both physical and spiritual, as the arduous climb yields to Matthiessen a deepening Buddhist understanding of reality, suffering, impermanence, and beauty.<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Peter Matthiessen </b>(1927-2014)<b> </b>is the only writer to win the National Book Award for fiction and nonfiction.
