"Matteo Pistono chose a journey that, inside and outside, would lead him into unfamiliar territory. He followed the path of one of Tibet’s great mystics through the Land of Snows, but what he encountered was a mass of contradictions: the elusive past and the intrusive present; brutality and torture greeted with nonviolence and compassion; his own anger against all the abuses; and a desire for peace and enlightenment. It is this tension of opposite forces and Matteo’s desire to transcend them that makes this story fascinating.” Peter Gabriel writes about In the Shadow of the Buddha
