"The journey begins in 1959, as a young monk named Tsung Tsai escapes the Red Army troops that destroy his monastery, and flees alone three thousand miles across a China swept by chaos and famine. Hidden under his peasant jacket he carries a book of poetry and his monk's certificate, either of which means death if discovered. His mission: to carry on the teachings of his Ch'an Buddhist master, Shiuh Deng, who was too old to leave with his disciple.". "Nearly forty years later Tsung Tsai travels with his skeptical friend Crane back to his birthplace at the edge of the Gobi Desert. China is stirring with spiritual renewal, and Tsung Tsai is determined to find Shiuh Deng's grave and build a shrine in his honor. The two men reenter a lost world of belief and superstition nearly extinguished by history. As their search culminates in a torturous climb to a remote mountain cave, it becomes clear that this seemingly quixotic quest may cost Tsung Tsai's life."--BOOK JACKET.

Dr. Wayne Dyer is an extraordinary sensor of what people want -- and he moves with the ever-changing times. He lasered in on the heart of the spiritual with Real Magic and embraced individual sacredness with Your Sacred Self. Now, in this enlightening new work, he takes these concepts one step further -- to an even more personal level -- to focus on meditation and manifesting what you want. Manifest Your Destiny teaches the process of meditation as a way to streamline your thoughts, desires, goals, and, ultimately, your life. All of us struggle with built-in societal barriers to our inner potential. For instance, when we fall into a dream state (either in real sleep or in a daydream), we conceive of goals and desires that are more spectacular than those we entertain when "awake" -- yet we always wake up thinking, "I can't do that." It is this conditioned limitation that Dyer now shows everyone how to overcome. Through the art of meditation, and his own remarkable Nine Spiritual Principles of Manifesting, which are covered in-depth in this invaluable guide. Dyer illuminates the path to achieving our truest and greatest goals -- and experiencing all of life's wondrous rewards.
