Seeking the Medicine Buddha

Bag om Seeking the Medicine Buddha

Scientist Harvey Maxwell's kindness and Buddhist compassion mask an inner demon: his deep guilt at failing to cure his young wife's terminal cancer. Harvey turns his sadness to good use, and sets out to develop new medicines from plants growing in hidden Himalayan valleys. His hard work pays off and he discovers a highly effective painkiller. Through his company, Harvey sells the medicine to grateful clients. One day Harvey receives devastating news: a pharmaceutical giant alleges that Harvey's painkiller infringes their patent. Harvey teams up with a private investigator, Alistair, and a patent lawyer, Paula, and together they seek a way around the dilemma. Harvey is guided by his Buddhist beliefs and expects that everything will turn out for the best. The secret of the pain medicine leads to the Himalayas, where Paula and Alistair find adventure while helping Harvey to save his company and continue working with the local scientists.
