Shambhala: The Fascinating Truth behind the Myth of Shangri-La Victoria LePage 309 pages 10 black & white illustrations 6 x 8 7/8 $16.00 paper 978-0-8356-0750-6

In this fascinating look behind the myth, Victoria LePage traces the links between this legendary Utopia and the mythologies of the world. Shambhala, LePage argues persuasively, is "real" and may be becoming more so as human beings as a species learn increasingly to perceive dimensions of reality that have been concealed for millennia.


Victoria LePage began her lifelong interest in Shambhala almost fifty years ago, when she was in her early twenties. Her research led her to studies of both the Hindu-Buddhist and Sufi traditions and to long visits to Central Java, where the Shambhala tradition is strong. Her articles on the struggles of Indonesia have been published in leading Australian newspapers. She lives in the province of Victoria, in Australia. This is her first published book.
