Synopsis:
The life story of the Dalai Lama translated from the French book by Claude Levenson. This biography describes the Dalai Lama's rigorous education and his full assumption of power at the age of fifteen following the Chinese invasion in 1950. Though Tibetan tradition holds that the Dalai Lama is an reincarnation of his predecessors, one still marvels at the level of responsibility, maturity, and wisdom he possessed at a very young age. He maintained a policy against violence and retaliation despite increasing repression by the Chinese. In 1959, the Dalai Lama was forced to flee Tibet and began his dangerous journey into exile from his homeland. While working for the fredom of the Tibetan people, the Dalai Lama has become one of the most beloved religious leaders and activists of our time, promoting mutual respect, truthfulness, and compassion around the world. |
