Descriere

Have you ever looked up at the sky and wondered why are we here? If there is a loving and compassionate God, why would he create a world wrought of suffering, chaos, and negativity? Have you been looking for someone to explain why life sucks, but haven't found anybody with the wisdom to help? Well, try a 500-year-old, enlightened camel-man. No, seriously. Kind of. The Dalai Camel is unlike any spiritual master you've ever met. Born to a camel, our intrepid hero spent many lifetimes exploring the world, from a peasant village of Medieval France to the wilds of Pre-Columbian Brazil; from a treacherous ocean voyage on a wooden carving of a boat, all the way to a luxury hotel in glamorous modern-day Manhattan.

Join Sri Camel on his bizarre and bewildering journey, along with his spiritual leader, The Goat Master; his thirteen disciples; his adopted son Ugavinny; his long-lost brother Nicholas, who accidentally chiseled off the nose of the Great Sphinx; his sister-in-law Ms. Mittens, who parades around in very little besides her mittens; and the Holy One and People magazine enthusiast the Dalai Lama himself, in this delightfully madcap and irreverent story of reverence that puts the odd back in odyssey
