‎A Thousand Journeys: The Biography of Lama Anagarika Govinda.‎

Very Good in Wraps: shows indications of very careful use: light wear to the extremities and a faint crease near the upper front corner; mild rubbing to wrapper covers; the binding shows barely discernible lean but remains perfectly secure; the text is clean. Remains close to 'As New'. NOT a Remainder Book-Club or Ex-Library. 8vo. 200pp. Trade Paperback. Anagarika Govinda 1898–1985 born Ernst Lothar Hoffmann was the founder of the order of the Arya Maitreya Mandala and an expositor of Tibetan Buddhism Abhidharma and Buddhist meditation as well as other aspects of Buddhism. He was also a painter and poet. In Sikkim he met the Tibetan Gelugpa meditation teacher Tomo Geshe Rimpoche alias Lama Ngawang Kalzang 1866–1936 who greatly impressed him and completely won him over to Tibetan Buddhism. From then on he embraced Tibetan Buddhism although he never abandoned his Theravada roots and stayed in contact with Nyanatiloka and later with Nyanaponika. Lama Ngawang Kalzang taught meditation to Govinda who remained in contact with him until his death. During their 1947–1948 expeditions to Tibet Govinda and Li Gotami met Ajo Repa Rinpoche who according to Govinda initiated them into the Kagyüpa school of Tibetan Buddhism. Govinda wrote in Foundations of Tibetan Mysticism that he understood 'initiates' to mean 'individuals who in virtue of their own sensitiveness respond to the subtle vibrations of symbols which are presented to them either by tradition or intuition.' And in The Way of White Clouds he wrote: “A real Guru's initiation is beyond the divisions of sects and creeds: it is the awakening to our own inner reality which once glimpsed determines our further course of development and our actions in life without the enforcement of outer rules.” Govinda stayed on in India teaching German and French at Rabindranath Tagore's Vishva Bharati university in Santinekan. In 1932 Govinda briefly visited Tibet from Sikkim visiting Mount Kailash and in 1933 from Ladakh. The summer months of 1932 and 1934 he and his stepmother who had followed him to India stayed at his hermitage at Variyagoda where a German Buddhist nun Uppalava Else Buchholz and a German monk Vappo were then also living. He had come to Sri Lanka accompanied by Rabindranath Tagore and had given a series of lectures on Tibetan Buddhism in various places in Sri Lanka trying to raise support for the planned Buddhist university at Sarnath. The reception in Sri Lanka was poor and Govinda who had run out of funds was quite disappointed. On orders of Tomo Geshe Rimpoche Govinda founded his order The Buddhist Order Arya Maitreya Mandala in 1933. Fourteen people were then ordained. Govinda received the name Anangavajra Khamsung Wangchuk. In 1934 in Calcutta he had the first exhibition of his paintings. From 1935 to 1945 he was the general secretary of the International Buddhist University Association IBUA for which he held lectures on Buddhist philosophy history archeology etc. at the Buddhist academy at Sarnath. In 1936 he got a teaching position at the University of Patna from where he gave guest lectures at the universities of Allahabad Lucknow and Benares. His lectures on Buddhist psychology at the University of Patna were published in 1939 as The Psychological Attitude of Early Buddhist Philosophy and his lectures at Shantinekan as Psycho-Cosmic Symbolism of the Buddhist Stupa in 1940. In 1938 after two failed attempts and on recommendation of the prime minister of Uttar Pradesh he managed to become a full British citizen. In 1947 he became a citizen of India. From 1937 to 1940 he lived with his stepmother in a house in Darjeeling. In 1947 he married the Parsi artist Li Gotami original name Ratti Petit 1906 -1988 from Bombay who as a painter had been his student at Santinekan in 1934. Govinda and Li Gotami wore Tibetan styles robes and were initiates in the Drugpa Kagyu lineage. The couple lived in a house rented from the writer Walter Evans-Wentz at Kasar Devi near Almora in northern India. Kasar Devi in hippie circles known as 'Crank's Ridge' was a bohemian colony home to artists writers and spiritual seekers such as Earl Brewster Alfred Sorensen and John Blofeld. Many spiritual seekers including the Beat Poets Allen Ginsberg and Gary Snyder the LSD Gurus Timothy Leary and Ralph Metzner the psychiatrist R. D. Laing and Tibetologist Robert Thurman came to visit Govinda at his ashram. The number of visitors became so great that the couple eventually put signs to keep unwanted visitors away. From Kasar Devi Govinda and Li Gotami undertook journeys to Tibet in the late 1940s making a large number of paintings drawings and photographs. These travels are described in Govinda's book The Way of the White Clouds. While on the expedition to Tsaparang and Tholing in Western Tibet in 1948-49 sponsored by the Illustrated Weekly of India Govinda received initiations in the Nyingma and Sakyapa lineages. Pictures of the Tsaparang frescoes taken by Li Gotami then before the Cultural Revolution still intact appear in Govinda's The Way of the White Clouds Foundations of Tibetan Mysticism and Tibet in Pictures co-authored with Li Gotami. In The Way of the White Clouds Govinda writes that he was a reincarnation of the poet Novalis. For health reasons Govinda finally settled in the San Francisco Bay area where he and his wife were taken care of by Alan Watts and Suzuki Roshi's San Francisco Zen Centre. In San Francisco he established a branch of his order called “Home of Dhyan”. In 1980 he visited India for a last time and gave up his house in Almora. He remained mentally agile despite suffering from several strokes from 1975 onwards. During an evening discussion in 1985 he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his neck that traveled downwards. He laid down on his right side and died laughing. His ashes were placed in the Nirvana-Stupa which was erected in 1997 on the premises of Samten Choeling Monastery in Darjeeling. Govinda wrote several books on a wide variety of Buddhist topics. His most well known books are The Way of the White Clouds and Foundations of Tibetan Mysticism which were translated in many languages. Some of his works such as Foundations of Tibetan Mysticism were written in German and were subsequently translated to English. His articles were published in many Buddhist journals such as the Maha Bodhi and the German journal Der Kreis published by his Buddhist Order Arya Maitreya Mandala. Govinda considered The Inner Structure of the I Ching the Book of Transformation as his most important book. Element Books, paperback‎

Light shelfwear to boards; binding sound text clean with the exception of some foxing to the first few leaves. Previous owner's raised stamp on front free endpaper. As described in contemporary review in the Missionary Herald "the earlier part of Miss Kendall's journey brings out vividly the life of such unfamiliar regions as French Tonking and the provinces of Yunnan and Szechuan in West China and includes such unusual experiences as a peek into Lolo Land a stop at Tachieniu--gateway to Tibet--and a remarkable sojourn at the monastery of Omei Shan that ancient and mysterious mountain shrine of Buddhist China. The middle part of the journey follows the more usual highways down the Yangtze and north to the Wall but the route becomes adventurous again as it crosses the Gobi Desert and pushes northward through Mongolia to Siberia.
