- Summary:
- What the Lotus Said is the vivid and lively account of Eric Swanson's journey through eastern Tibet in the company of a Tibetan lama and several other Americans.
- While sharply chronicling his trek, Swanson becomes disillusioned; not because Tibet is so fiercely different from the place he had imagined, but because achieving the ultimate aim of his sojourn is a much larger and more complicated task than the journey itself.
- Written with an easy humor and perfect pacing, What the Lotus Said introduces the reader to the irreducible complexities of the search for spiritual solace.
