Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A posthumous novel by Dr Tsewang Yishey Pemba, the founding father of Tibetan-English literature, White Crane, Lend me your Wings is a historical fiction set in the breathtakingly beautiful Nyarong Valley of the Kham province of Eastern Tibet in the first half of the twentieth century. Dr Pemba skillfully weaves a dazzling tapestry of individual lives and sweeping events creating an epic vision of a country and people during a time of tremendous upheaval. The novel begins with a never-told-before story of a failed Christian mission in Tibet and takes one into the heartland of Eastern Tibet by capturing the zeitgeist of the fierce warrior tribe of Khampas ruled by chieftains. This coming-of-age narrative is a riveting tale of vengeance, warfare and love unfolded through the life story of two young boys and their family and friends. The personal drama gets embroiled in a national catastrophe as China invades Tibet forcing it out of its isolation. Ultimately, the novel delves into themes such as tradition versus modernity, individual choice and freedom, the nature of governance, the role of religion in people’s lives, the inevitability of change and the importance of human values such as loyalty and compassion.

Book excerpt: The book in front of you is one of very few ever written about White Crane Kung Fu and the only one about Shaking Crane (Zong He) style written in English. The book introduces basic concepts of internal White Crane practice. Internal power has always been shrouded in a veil of mystery, often explained through Chinese religious and esoteric practices, believes and terminology. This book separates myths from facts and explains what internal power is and how it is generated within the body. Content is strictly focused on body mechanics and doesn't go into the realm of esoteric practices or religion of any kind. Basic methods of development, transmission and releasing of internal power are explained in detail. These methods are considered the very foundation and beginners course of Zong He Quan style, on the other hand, they are universal in their training approach and goals and could be included in practice of other internal styles, especially styles from Guangdong and Fujian provinces.
