During this time, he wrote a series of travelogues which includes 'Searching for Shangri-la', 'Road to Shambhala', and 'New Age Sutra'. In 2005, he established the Shambhala Foundation. Shambhala Foundation promotes ethnic diversity and supports culturally sustainable development models that include monastery restoration, construction of schools, developing medical clinics, as well as entrepreneurial training in the Tibetan regions of western China.
内容简介
Some say that Shangri-La can be found in sacred Tibet, or maybe in wild Qinghai. They are others who say it can be found in artistic Yunnan. Author Laurence J Brahm hitchhikes off the beaten track through western China, meeting monks, nomads, artists, rock and pop musicians, dancers, composers, environmentalists and living Buddhas, each searching for their own version of Shangri-La. Shangri-La can be found in a cup of café latte or yak butter tea if you search carefully enough... Searching for Shangri-La... Can you find it? Maybe you are not searching carefully enough……

媒体评论
You want to find out precisely what and where Shangri—La is,to define it and tell othersBut they are in a dream and for them.this dream is Shangri—La.
Yang Liping
We can only use our hearts to tell US what Shangri—La is.Shangri—La can be found,it lies
inside your heart.Everyone can look within himself and find his own Shangri—La。
LuoXu
Shangri—La is a lifestyle,a state of composure,or the ideal in one‘S imagination

Shangri—La in my life is a pure heart
Zhu Zheqin(Dadawa)
Shangri—La is a place beyond a place,beyond the horizon.When you close your eyes,youcan think about it any way and t—hat is Shangri—La.It is the security of your energy,soul andbalance,without any dependence on anyone—your boss,your husband,your lover,yourclothing and your material satisfaction.
Zhang Tian’ai(Flora Cheong-leen)
