'Imagine that you are a teacher. Imagine that in your class, there are three or four lads who want to read Shakespeare or Goethe. Imagine that other students have no wish to read these authors.

So states Khenpo Kyosang Rinpoche, an admired Buddhist lama, in SNOW LION MEETS EUROPE. Through a series of lectures, given to a mostly German audience, SNOW LION gently but firmly confronts the vagaries and inconsistencies of Western culture from an Eastern perspective. The result is a highly readable book that is provocative, humorous, and insightful.
