Title: Beyond the Sky and The Earth
Author: Jamie Zeppa
(at Indigo book store in Buddhist section)
Jamie Zeppa is a Canadian, who went to work in 1989, in a remote Bhutanese village as a teacher. Jamie writes an insightful account of how she is forced to overcome her western outlook, so she can bridge the cultural divide. Her core is altered by the beauty of the people and the land. She gives a very intelligent description of her conversion to Buddhism.
