Life and Teachings of the Masters of the Far East

In 1924, the first volume of Life and Teaching of the Masters of the Far East was published by Walter L. Spalding. This book describes the travels to India and Tibet of a research party of eleven scientists in 1894. During their trip, they claim to have made contact with the Great Masters of the Himalayas, immortal beings with whom they lived and studied. This close contact enabled them to witness many spiritual principles evinced by these Great Masters translated into their everyday lives; such examples are walking on water or manifesting bread to feed the hungry party. These books have remained consistently popular with spiritual seekers, those interested in the philosophy of the East, and those who enjoy a good story because of their accessible nature and easy-to-follow format.
