Explore 'Shangri-La' at immersive Tsinghua University exhibit
During the exhibit's opening ceremony, Brahm also announced his next Himalayan expedition and documentary film project - Searching for the Lotus Master. This time, he will follow the footsteps of Padmasambhava, known in Chinese as the Lotus Born Master, the founder of Vajrayana or Tibetan Buddhism.
The team will trace the historic route once traveled by the Lotus Born Master through Pakistan, India, Nepal, Bhutan and western China, which is better known as the Southern Silk Road or Tea Pony Road.
Brahm believes this route possesses deep historical ties linking all the way to contemporary Asia.
"The Lotus Born Master is a historic figure who brought together the various elements of what we know today as Himalayan culture and belongs to the heritage of each of these countries participating in the Belt and Road Initiative," he said.
