The myth of Shangri-la originates in Tibetan Buddhist beliefs in "beyul," or hidden lands, sacred sanctuaries that reveal themselves to devout pilgrims and in times of crisis.

" "He saw her across the Piazza San Marco and fell in love from afar. When he sees her again in a Venice cafe a year later, he knows it is fate. He knows little English; and she, a divorced American chef, speaks only food-based Italian. Marlena thinks she is incapable of intimacy, that her heart has lost its capacity for romantic love.
