Bones of the Master: A Journey to Secret Mongolia Paperback - 2001
by George Crane
Having fled Red Army troops in 1959, monk Tsung Tsai persuades his American neighbor--40 years later--to travel with him back to his birthplace at the edge of the Gobi desert. Their search takes them from frontier towns, mud villages, and lost temples to a remote mountain cave and deep into the heart of zen.
From the publisher
First line
The ninth day of the tenth month.
From the jacket flap
In 1959 a young monk named Tsung Tsai (Ancestor Wisdom) escapes the Red Army troops that destroy his monastery, and flees alone three thousand miles across a China swept by chaos and famine. Knowing his fellow monks are dead, himself starving and hunted, he is sustained by his mission: to carry on the teachings of his Buddhist meditation master, who was too old to leave with his disciple.
Nearly forty years later Tsung Tsai -- now an old master himself -- persuades his American neighbor, maverick poet George Crane, to travel with him back to his birthplace at the edge of the Gobi Desert.
They are unlikely companions. Crane seeks freedom, adventure, sensation. Tsung Tsai is determined to find his master's grave and plant the seeds of a spiritual renewal in China. As their search culminates in a torturous climb to a remote mountain cave, it becomes clear that this seemingly quixotic quest may cost both men's lives.
