Description

The incredible story of one snowboarder’s quest for spiritual enlightenment in the Himalayan mountain range. Having snowboarded the tallest mountains in North America, young adventurer Frederick Lenz begins looking for the biggest snowboarding challenge he can find. His search for the ultimate high leads him to the snowy peaks of the Himalayas where, while surfing the snow-capped mountains, he experiences something much more profound. This transcendent adventure begins when he accidentally plows into a Buddhist monk named Master Fwap at the base of a mountain. This karmic incident leads Lenz on an adventure to unlock his spiritual destiny. Master Fwap leverages Lenz’ desire to perfect his snowboarding skills to reveal the hidden pathway to true enlightenment, showing Lenz how to free his mind while also challenging his spirit. By doing this, Master Fwap claims Lenz can master any mountain, including the hardest mountain of all—oneself. This fictional story, based on real life occurrences, is charged with high-octane energy, humor, and insight that will leave you breathless at times and inspired the next. Join Lenz in the Himalayan mountains. You just might find what you’re searching for as well. Read more

  • An engaging read packed with deep insights
I saw a NY Times article on Tina Turner recently where she said that this book is one of the few books on her nightstand and it peaked my interest. As an avid reader of spiritual books, I found Surfing the Himalayas to be an absorbing read that has many layers to it. Though it's a fictional account, it covers the core concepts from spiritual and religious traditions in an easy to follow format. There are also advanced principles that are woven in - but presented in a clever way that makes it a fun and engaging read. ... show more

  • OK, But Disappointing
In 1990, I spent two months in Nepal and Tibet, and visted numerous monasteries. I have also been an amateur student of Buddism, on-and-off, for a number of years. This book looked interesting, but I was disappointed. I have to agree with many of the comments of reviewer David Yeh, on the American Amazon site, whom I quote: " '...Master Fwap told me that most people who have been enlightened in their previous incarnations would normally begin to regain their past-life enlightenment-if they lived at sea level-at around the age of twenty-nine, when their astrological Saturn return took place. He said that living in or near sacred mountains, because of their beneficial auric influences, often made past-life returns happen even faster.' What?! Sea level? Saturn return? Auric influences? I'm not close-minded, but Lenz makes little attempt to make believers out of non-believers, he throws out jargon like this with impunity." I did find some aspects of the book interesting, but I thought it got really bogged down, and it was hard for meto persevere to the end. Having done so, I felt disappointed. There wasn't any payoff for me. ... show more

  • Good Concept
I like the theme of this book, and I think the overall message is great, but the writing is not all that spectacular. What did I expect, right? I would recommend this book to anyone hoping for a general understanding of spiritual identity, but it's not the best book I've read on the subject. As a snowboarder I was attracted to the plot, but I don't feel it goes into much detail about the actual riding he did, so it would be a good read for anyone - not just action sport enthusiasts. ... show more

  • Good book
Read this years ago when it first came out. Liked so much I gave it to my four sons to read. Then have loaned my dog eared book out to friends and family. Finally had to buy a new copy to keep for myself.

  • A must read for those on the path to enlightenment.
A simple western-culture oriented explanation of rather complicated concepts on the path. The language is good, and the book reads very easily. Keep an open mind - as always!

  • A great and enjoyable read.
I enjoyed this book as much as reading about the five Tibetan rites in the "secret of the fountain of youth". A great spiritual adventure that will make an impression on your soul.

  • Worthy of time
Very interesting. I feel that even though it was written as fiction there is a lot of value contained in the information given by Fredrick, aka, Rama.
