A predator lurks underground. Hungry.
For fear. Envy. Hatred. Jealousy.
All nuances of human darkness.
Now it comes after you.
How will you protect your balance
when all you have ever nurtured is
your light?
- - - - - - - - - -
Is there such a thing as overmeditation?
When chief Tibetan lama Monk Gyatso awakes in the Dharma Cave to find himself taken into custody by armed, uniformed men, he becomes convinced he exists not in his mental plane but in the real, material world. Tall structures, denuded mountains, glossy roads are all he needs to see to face one undeniable truth: He is no longer in 1914.
He runs away, after seeing a bizarre dying light in the Capital Hall’s underground, and what follows is an endless escape from danger. Little does he know, more than his physical safety being protected, he needs to safeguard his spiritual balance. A mysterious syndrome is plaguing humanity, an oligarchy is controlling the world, the people suffer from spiritual darkness—amid all these, will his goodness remain intact?
His goodness is then challenged when a sudden tragedy forces him to do more than praying. He decides to talk with the government’s leaders alone, but at the same time—unknowingly—sending himself within a predatory entity’s reach. Now he struggles to lose, not his light, but his darkness . . .
