A few years ago I finally found the time to read The Lost Horizon by James Hilton. My interest in this book grew slowly over time. At first I heard it was where the place "Shangri-La" comes from. Then I heard it was the first book to ever be published as a paperback. Then I heard interesting things about the writer. It was a slow road towards finally reading it.
And as I was reading it, I came across a Tibetan prayer that Hilton included in it without explaining much about it: om mani padme hum. It was weird and I decided to investigate it. I came across this website and decided to share it as a token that sometimes reading a book is the catalyst for coming across other interesting knowledge that you weren't expecting to find. I love when that happens :)
