It was 1976 when I tiptoed into a tiny Buddhist shrine room in a farmhouse nestled into the Black Mountains of Wales and there beheld a Tibetan master, the 16th Karmapa.

Why did it take decades to get there? What made the right ingredients emerge to penetrate this sacred sanctuary? And who hid it and why?
