desertcart.com: From Lion's Jaws: Chogyam Trungpa's Epic Escape To The West: 9780995029309: MacLean, Grant: Books

Review: An exciting historical contribution - Grant MacLean's well-researched, well-written book is gripping from start to finish. It gives us an intimate and rich glimpse of old Tibet as the political tensions were building during the "Cultural Revolution," and we then accompany Chogyam Trungpa and his party on their harrying escape over the Himalayas into India. This work is an exciting historical contribution, with previously unknown details provided by Mr. MacLean's careful (and amazing) interviews with people who were actually in the escape party, and with others who knew Trungpa in India and England. Congratulations to the author!
Review: The Great Escape! - In this remarkable story, using little more than intuition, spiritual insight, and the occasional mirror divination, Chögyam Trungpa and company traverse some of the most hostile and inhospitable terrain on the planet. Not to mention the Chinese army, starvation, and frostbite. Against insurmountable odds, these daring Tibetans defy logic and the elements to escape the annihilation of their culture and bring the Dharma to the west. Good stuff!

*by A***E on January 20, 2017*

This book chronicles the unbelievable hardships that the Tibetan people have in fleeing from their land. I take my hat off to them - those that made it and those that didn't - for their courage and determination against the odds. It was an eye opening and sometimes gut wrenching read. I truly hope they all find the peace they are looking for.
