Ascent of the Thunder Dragon is Sasha Wakefield’s debut book where she weaves the extraordinary life of Zhabdrung Ngawang Namgyal—the 17th-century founder of Bhutan and a larger-than-life spiritual figure—through the intimate lens of her own spiritual journey. From the sun-kissed beaches of Australia to the mist-shrouded mountains of Bhutan, she follows the path that led her from childhood questioning to a life-changing encounter with her teacher.
