'The Western society is built on machines. You live with them and even within them. And among them, too. Don't tell me that your environment has no impact on your mind. It surely does...'

'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 what will you do if you are a "democratic" teacher? You will let your students decide what they wish to study. No Shakespeare, no Goethe, to be sure...'
~~~~~~~
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.

"The Yeti in the Library"
Dharamshala, India, home of the Tibetan community in exile. 2012 was a year in which documented abuses of human rights reached alarming heights within Tibet. At the same time, there were an unprecedented number of self-immolations as individual Tibetans made a fiery protest against the erosion of their language, religion, culture and freedom. I was there in Dharamshala, India, as the tragic year unfolded. But amazingly, amidst the sadness there was humour, compassion and a determination to continue the Tibetans' non-violent struggle for freedom. The Yeti in the Library is a testament to the bravery and character of a people in exile, set against the fascinating background of northern India. You can read the first three chapters here. To read more, buy the book very cheaply via Amazon Kindle, or visit my website www.gillwinterbooks.com The Yeti in the Library is the sequel to my first book, Between Monks and Monkeys.Complete
SHY EYES, BOLD HEART
Prologue "In class, he teaches international theories. After dark, he decides who lives or dies." Dunk Methakawin isn't just a professor with a charming smile and perfect lesson plans - he's the head of one of the most dangerous Mafia syndicates in Asia. His orders topple governments. His decisions redraw bloodlines. But at this elite university, he's playing a new game - undercover, unreadable, and unbelievably close to falling for a student who barely speaks above a whisper. Joong is quiet. Brilliant. Beautiful. And completely unaware of the storm walking toward him in tailored suits and textbook references. He's just trying to pass his classes, avoid eye contact, and maybe stop blushing every time his professor says his name. Then there's Phuwin - Dunk's younger brother and second-in-command. Sharp as a blade. Silent as death. He's supposed to be watching the enemy. But he finds himself watching someone else instead: a shy, clumsy student named Pond, who might just become the one crack in Phuwin's steel armor. Four lives. Two worlds. One classroom. And zero rules when love meets power. ⸻ "He gives lectures in the day. He gives orders at night. But the heart he wants to control the most... sits quietly in the back row."Complete
DARE
North is the kind of person one might easily mistake for an angel. But as the saying goes, never judge a book by its cover. Beneath that angelic facade lies a mischievous spirit who thrives on attention. North is a natural flirt, effortlessly magnetic, and he rarely resists the thrill of a challenge-especially when it comes wrapped in the form of a daring game. He doesn't shy away from risks; in fact, he welcomes them with a smirk and a glint of recklessness in his eyes. Johan, on the other hand, is the complete antithesis. His very presence commands silence; a single glare from him can make even the boldest person falter. He is the embodiment of intensity-gruff, intimidating, and perpetually on edge. There's a dangerous allure about him, the kind that warns you to stay away even as it dares you to come closer. Johan is not the type of person one typically challenges-but for someone like North, that only makes him all the more irresistible. 🚫 Do not copy or replicate my work 🚫Complete
