A Russian explorer of the 1890s visited a Tibetan monastery, where he heard of a "western Dalai Lama" who visited the region 2,000 years before. Nicolas Notovitch's discovery offers an intriguing, controversial account of Christ's life from the ages of 13 to 29, when Jesus reputedly studied in Asia among Buddhists.
