Summary: "Three Years in Tibet" by Ekai Kawaguchi is a travel memoir written in the early 20th century. The book chronicles the author's journey as a Japanese monk who explores Tibet to study Buddhist texts and immerse himself in Tibetan culture. Kawaguchi's adventures unfold against the backdrop of his determined quest to bridge the gap between Japanese Buddhism and the original texts found in Tibet. The opening of the memoir introduces Ekai Kawaguchi's preparation for his formidable journey to Tibet, detailing the heartfelt farewells he received from friends and family in Japan.
