«La Montagne des trois temps» is the pilgrimage account by Claude B. Levenson, published by Calmann-Lévy in paperback (128 pages, in French).
It recounts a three-day, three-night pilgrimage around Mount Kailash, the most sacred mountain in Asia. Between visits to monasteries and encounters with Tibetan masters, monks and pilgrims, the author leaves behind her material concerns and her journey becomes an initiatory quest that approaches the mystery of the Buddhist teaching of emptiness.
It belongs to the Lignes de vie collection from Calmann-Lévy. Claude B. Levenson, a friend of Tibet and interpreter of its teachings, narrates for the first time her own experience as a Westerner in Asia.
For readers interested in Buddhism, Tibetan spirituality and initiatory travel accounts.
