In the first part of GRR’s epic Tibetan trilogy, Jack “The Agnostic” Garcia examines the geography and ancient origins of the mysterious, mountain fortress-like nation. As well as the shift from the cannibalistic,shamanistic and devil worshiping indigenous Bon religion with its imperialist leanings and plans of empire building to the more  gentle message of Buddhism. Jack also explores the withdrawal of Tibet during the Middle Ages into centuries of isolation, the beginnings of the Dalai Lama Theocractic system of government ,and the use of such sacred items as prayer wheels, prayer flags and the Tibetan rosary. Last but not least Jack examines the little known story of the 19th centuries British colonial Hindu spies who traveled in caravans disguised as holy men and pilgrims -creating a secret, covert map of Tibet and whose military intelligence would eventually lead to the end of Tibet’s centuries of isolation, forcing the mysterious mountain country to begin diplomatic relations with the West.
