The time and place were clearly now and here, as much as in the mythical Shangri-La. And the appeal the dying High Lama makes to Conway to stay in Shangri-La and preserve the values he cherishes is an appeal to the whole world.

It came to me in a vision, long, long ago. I saw all the nations strengthening, not in wisdom, but in the vulgar passions and the will to destroy. I foresaw a time when man, exulting in the technique of murder, would rage so hotly over the world that every book, every treasure, would be doomed to destruction. This vision was so vivid and so moving that I determined to gather together all the things of beauty and culture that I could and preserve them here against the doom toward which the world is rushing…For when that day comes, the world must begin to look for a new life. And it is our hope that they may find it here.
