In 1973, Peter Matthiessen and field biologist George Schaller embark on an expedition into the remote mountains of Nepal to study the Himalayan blue sheep and seek the elusive snow leopard. Alongside their scientific pursuits, Matthiessen, a Zen Buddhism student, undertakes a profound spiritual journey to locate the Lama of Shey at the ancient shrine on Crystal Mountain. As they ascend, Matthiessen explores both the majestic landscape and his own inner landscape, reflecting on themes of reality, suffering, impermanence, and beauty through a deepening lens of Buddhist philosophy.
