Shambhala
A book of essays dated between 1925 and 1929 at the places of the expedition, opened by 'Shambhala the Resplendent', a dialogue with a lama about the hidden kingdom of the Kalachakra tradition, and followed by texts on Tibetan Buddhism and art, the 'subterranean dwellers', the 'Star of the Mother of the World', the Urusvati institute, the gods of Kullu and the guru. It is the text in which Roerich sets out most clearly his reading of Shambhala as both symbol and reality, and the one that fixed the Western image of the subject for decades. It should be read as the work of a believer, not as a study of Tibetan Buddhism.
