Publisher's Note
A Buddhist monk who fled the Chinese persecution of his country returns fifty years later to Tibet and offers a moving memoir of his experiences as he describes his odyssey, with an American friend, back to his birthplace on the edge of the Gobi as he searches for the grave of his elderly Ch'an Buddhist master, Shuih Deng.

Industry Reviews
"BONES OF THE MASTER tells us a great deal about China, but that is not the chief source of its fascination. We have here an account of a cross-cultural friendship rich in delicacy, frustration and humour."
Times Literary Supplement - John Crook (07/28/2000)
