A gripping exploration of thirty notable travel memoirs, each recounting a journey to a Buddhist culture. These Western travel narratives, the best known of which is Peter Matthiessen's The Snow Leopard, describe journeys and religious experiences that often led to self-transformation and are interpreted through the Buddhist concept of 'no-self'.
