"Presenting the imminence of a planetary cataclysm, seven wise men from all over the world gather in a lost monastery of the Tibetan mountains to transmit to Tenzin and Natina, two teenagers, the keys to universal wisdom. Beyond the differences of their respective traditions but inspired by what the ancient philosophers called the "soul of the world" - this benevolent force that maintains the harmony of the universe - they answer the essential questions: what is the meaning of existence? How to succeed his life and be happy? How to reconcile the demands of his body and his mind? How to move from fear to love, and contribute to changing the world? A tale that traces the path of a spiritual humanism that carries hope."--Editor.
