The Nirvana Experiments and Other Tales of Asia by William Page is a collection of ten stories set in Thailand, India, China, Nepal, Taiwan and Afghanistan.

Some highlights:
An Indian scientist tries to induce enlightenment by manipulating the chemistry of the brain...
An American Peace Corps volunteer declares war on the Nepalese caste system...
A traveler carries an ancient curse into the modern world...
A California girl searches for a guru in the Himalayas...
A Chinese mother contends with a Bodhisattva for the soul of her eight-year-old son.

Although the protagonists come from different backgrounds, most of them are engaged in a common venture: the quest for spiritual certitude.
