This is a new edition of Surfing the Himalayas, Rama-Dr. Frederick Lenz's classic story about a young man who encounters an enlightened monk while snowboarding in Nepal. As Dr. Lenz states in the foreward to the book, "The following account of my Himalayan adventures is based on a series of experiences that occurred to me some time ago in Nepal. I have taken the liberty of transforming these accounts, even though they are based upon real life experiences, into a work of fiction. I hope that the internal and external experiences presented in the following pages both entertain and enlighten you."
