An incognito English incarnation of an early 20 century Tibetan Lama returns to the Himalayas in 1975, after three years at Art School in Bristol. He continues his training in Bodhanath, Nepal, with Kyabjé Düd'jom Rinpoche - the Head of the Nyingma Tradition. He is referred to the ferocious Künzang Dorje Rinpoche in Tso Pema - for training in Dzogchen Men-ngag-dé. A harrowing month of interogatory harangues ensues - but he is finally accepted, not simply as a disciple, but as a heart-son. He returns to Düd'jom Rinpoche to recount his experience. He is given instructions and predictions. He will reveal the Aro gTér when he commences life as a Lama in the West - but first he must find a consort. She will make everything possible - but how he will find her proves challenging. He travels between Bodhanath and Tso Pema - but time is running out. He returns to Britain periodically to earn the wherewithal for further sojourns in the Himalayas. He has no guidelines for how to proceed in the West - other than the predictions of his Lamas.
