內容簡介
Finding a fascinating and gratifying medical practice in Kathmandu saved his medical career, but befriending a reincarnate Tibetan lama transformed his life.This compellingly written memoir is a grand adventure tale of travel in Nepal and Tibet, tense and highly emotional medical encounters, new romances, and ground-breaking medical research. But all these eventually take a back seat to what the author learns about Tibetan Buddhism and the ability to train in compassion. The author reveals the details of his personal tutoring in Buddhism and his gradual exposure to mysteries and hard-to-explain events that he personally witnesses. For all the readers who dream about what it might be like to travel to the Himalayas and achieve a genuine spiritual connection, this book is the story of how that dream can come true.During his time in Nepal, Dr. Shlim served ten years as the Medical Director of the Himalayan Rescue Association and was given an award by the Prime Minister of Nepal for his lifetime contribution to rescue in Nepal. For 20 years he wrote the "Health and Safety" chapter in Trekking in the Nepal Himalaya, published by Lonely Planet. He was working in Kathmandu in 1996 when the disaster that was memorialized in the book, Into Thin Air, took place, treating the victims that were evacuated from the mountain. For those yearning to explore the Himalayas or seeking a genuine spiritual connection, "A Gentle Rain of Compassion" is an invitation to witness the fusion of adventure, medicine, and the transformative power of compassion. Dr. Shlim's story unfolds against a backdrop of awards, rescue missions, and contributions to the health and safety of those trekking in the Nepal Himalaya. This memoir not only invites readers to dream but reveals how dreams can manifest into a reality that transcends the ordinary and touches the very soul of existence.
