«Le Lama aux cinq sagesses» is the Buddhist novel by Alexandra David-Néel, published by Pocket in paperback (351 pages, in French).
The tale, inspired by traditional Tibetan stories, follows Mipam, born amid wonders and marked as the reincarnation of a great lama. Between encounters with a leopard and a hermit, he discovers the call of religion, while chance, Tibet's conventions and love guide his steps toward a land where humans and animals live together in peace.
The book was originally published in 1935 as «Mipam: A Tibetan Love Story»; the French Pocket edition is from 2002.
Aimed at readers interested in Tibetan Buddhism and tales of love and adventure set in Tibet.
Alexandra David-Néel was a French explorer, spiritualist, Buddhist, anarchist, opera singer, and writer. She is most known for her 1924 visit to Lhasa, Tibet, when it was forbidden to foreigners. David-Néel wrote over 30 books about Eastern religion, philosophy, and her travels, including Magic and Mystery in Tibet, which was published in 1929. Her teachings influenced the beat writers Jack Kerouac and Allen Ginsberg, the popularisers of Eastern philosophy Alan Watts and Ram Dass, and the esotericist Benjamin Creme.
