About the author

Picture of the Author, Alice

A successful lawyer, architect and administrator, Herter has researched and explored a wide variety of subjects and has gained an array of experiences. Raised in a traditional Christian home, the death of her father when she was 18 years old propelled Herter on her own spiritual journey.  This journey included the study of her Christ-centered upbringing through Eastern religions and into Buddhism.   In this book, Herter uses her talents to write the story of a Tibetan Buddhist monk whose wise and kind direction helped shape her spiritual life.   His story is the story of a hero, a man who relinquished worldly treasures and devoted his entire life to helping others.  Herter brings his story to the reader in clear and concise language making the teachings readily accessible to all who read it. 

LET THEM

THE STORY OF A TIBETAN BUDDHIST MONK

Let Them is the story of a modern-day hero. Lama Karma Dorje is a humble, Tibetan Buddhist monk who left his quiet, contemplative life high in the Himalayan mountains to come to the West. He spoke no English but was steeped in the universal language of kindness and compassion.  From challenging beginnings, he established vital and thriving Tibetan Buddhist Centers and built numerous religious buildings. Most importantly, he provided guidance and direction to hundreds of people who sought his advice. He refused no one – Buddhist, Christian, Jewish, Hindu, Muslim – these distinctions did not matter. He saw each one as a human being struggling to live the best life that they could. He didnโ€™t judge; he listened.  And he offered advice. As you will learn from this book, his impact on the lives of many is extraordinary.  Still alive today at 90 years of age, this monk, Lama Karma Dorje, actively continues his spiritual practice and his spiritual path. This is his story,  a story based on actual experiences not merely philosophy.  His is a journey that will touch your heart and awaken your soul.
