Himalaya: A Human History
Epigraph
Birth, sickness, ageing and death flow ever onward, a river without ford or bridge … Have you prepared yourself a boat?
Dampa Sangye (died 1117)
This is a land of hearsay and rumour:
If you dig down and look, you’ll find nothing But hearsay and rumour
Heaped up beneath every home,
So this is a land of hearsay and rumour,
A country standing on hearsay and rumour,
A country that has risen up on hearsay and rumour …
Bhupi Sherchan (1935–1989)
