Unlike all movies that have been made involving the Himalayas—the planet's highest and home to the world's highest peaks including Mount Everest and K2 —and all books that have been written about Asian countries located around these mountain ranges, Lotus on the Snow by Poven Leace—adapted from Hoa Sen Trên Tuyết by Nguyên Phong—has its unique characteristics. It does not take the readers’ breath away because of the magnificence of the Himalayan system, but it makes the readers hold their breath because of the affection that the Himalayas compel them. Lotus on the Snow does not intentionally call for the readers’ sympathies or trigger enragements with accounts of arrest, trial, torture, and crucifixion as the highest grossing The Passion of the Christ does, but the readers voluntarily yet unconditionally give it their wholehearted compassion, sincerity, trustworthiness, and admiration.
Lotus on the Snow naturally fills the readers’ heart with genuine compassions and soothes readers’ soul with mind-blowing conversations. Most characters in Lotus on the Snow make the readers keenly ponder about human beings and seriously wonder about life. Most prominently, they distinctively touch the readers’ heart in an indescribable way. A wealthy, successful Chicagoan physician took a journey to Dharamsala—the quaint Indian hill headquarters of the Dalai Lama in exile—after he experienced a series of catastrophes. What he actually heard, physically witnessed, and consciously realized after the journey gave him an amazingly different perspective that very few beings can perceive in life.
