Katrin: Girls Do Do That by Geshe Michael Roach (English) Paperback Book

Description: Katrin by Geshe Michael Roach From the author of How Yoga Works, a delightful adventure tale of yoga and the ancient wisdom behind it. Friday is a young girl who lives in a tiny nomad village high in the Himalayan plains, a thousand years before our time. Yoga is just starting to reach Tibet from India, and is strictly forbidden for women. In fact, so are books--and learning to read or to write. Fridays uncle Jampa is a quiet, wise Buddhist monk who gives classes to young monks who walk from the local monastery to his beautiful yurt, secluded within the mountains. Why does he live so alone? Why doesnt he stay with the other monks? Uncle has a secret. Friday grows up watching Uncle teach her dear brother Tenzing the deepest knowledge of the ancient books, as he trains to become a Geshe, or Master. She secretly watches the Wisdom Warriors of the monastery at night, as they tear apart beautiful ideas, leaping in the wild dance of a debater monk. Friday hatches a daring plan to become the first woman in a thousand years to break into this secret society of wisdom and yoga. How could it ever come true? Will she succeed? FORMAT Paperback LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Author Biography Geshe Michael Roach was born in Los Angeles in 1952, and grew up in Phoenix, Arizona. In 1975 he graduated with honors from the Religion Department of Princeton University, and is also a recipient of the McConnell Scholarship Prize from the Universitys School of Public & International Affairs. He has as well received the Presidential Scholar Medallion from the President of the United States at the White House. Michael is the first westerner in the 600-year history of Tibets Sera Mey Monastery, one of the largest in the world, to be awarded the degree of Geshe (Master of Buddhism), after completing the required 25-year course and public examinations. In 1987, he founded the Asian Classics Input Project, which trains and pays refugees to digitalize the classic books of the East, and provides thousands of ancient manuscripts online without charge. The ACIP project led to the discovery and preservation of several dozen ancient texts of yoga, and in 2003 Michael founded the Yoga Studies Institute to translate, distribute, and teach these authentic, ancient systems of yoga exercise. His novel about a young woman who discovers and shares the deeper teachings of yoga, How Yoga Works, is a bestselling classic found in many languages, in yoga studios around the world.
