    About this ebook

    BY WAY OF THE SEA a novel by JULIAN BOUND

     

    One Monk's Journey of Discovery

     

    Struggling with his beliefs a Tibetan Buddhist monk begins a journey to see the sea he has always dreamt of. Travelling on foot through Tibet, Nepal and India to reach his goal, those he encounters along the way start to restore a faith lost to him.

     

    After visiting Namsto Lake as a young novice, Tenzin has longed to stand before seas never witnessed in a landlocked Tibet. Coming of age he leaves Lhasa's Gyuto Monastery and travels southwards on his quest. Travelling through his homelands he walks beside holy lakes and over high attitude mountain passes until reaching Nepal's border.

     

    Continuing south to Kathmandu and to Pokhara's sacred lake he arrives to the town of Lumbini on Nepal's border with India. There within the gardens of Buddha's birthplace Tenzin's fading beliefs begin to be rekindled.

     

    Crossing into India he journeys south once more and soon meets with a path he is destined to take.

     

    Encountering many on his travels each hold a valuable lesson for Tenzin as together they explore the concepts of attachment, impermanence, kindness and compassion and karma and reincarnation. With each insight gained he continues onwards, his pursuit to see the sea accompanied by a want to understand the faith in which he has been raised.
