Navajo and Tibetan Sacred Wisdom: The Circle of the Spirit
Editorial Reviews
Alfred W. Yazzie, Chanter Navajo Nation
Peter Gold has described our ways and philosophy of life in this book and I hope that it will help you to better understand us. This book also helps us to understand others better. It shows that we are not alone in living according to the teachings coming from the center of life to the four directions, and from the lower and upper lives of Mother Earth and Father Sky.
Not long ago I had the opportunity to meet with one of the holy men of the people of Tibet, Lama Yeshe Dorje Rinpoche. In our long talk, we found many similarities between Navajo and Tibetan philosophy and sacred ways. It is good and enlightening to know that there are others around the world who still abide by the teachings of their ancestors, and know the peace and value of maintaining beauty ahead, behind, below, above, all around and from within themselves.

This remarkable book coalesces the fruits of a personal odyssey that ranged back and forth between two continents over a period of many years. As an anthropologist, I am impressed by Peter Gold's sustained fieldwork among two peoples, so far apart in space, language, history. This is not a work of conventional social science or of comparative mythology; rather, it invites the reader to search beyond his or her cultural framework and enter onto a quest of spiritual anthropology.
