In 1937, a vision led the high lamas of Tibet to an old house in
the mountains, with a turquoise roof. Here lived 2-year-old Lhamo
Dhondrub, who would go on to become the 14th Dalai Lama. But how
did this toddler grow into one of the world's most important
religious figures? And why has he been forced into exile? The Dalai
Lama looks at his extraordinary story, from his education by monks,
deep in the Tibetan mountains, to how he became leader of Tibet
aged just 15. The Chinese invasion of Tibet, that forced him to
flee his homeland, and begin a new life and government in exile in
India, is explained, as is the plight of ordinary Tibetans. The
Buddhist faith, and exactly what it means to be a Buddhist, is
explored, as is the role it plays in the lives of people around the
world. The book also looks at the Dalai Lama's work as a teacher
and a leader, and at some of the issues he campaigns for -
particularly his environmental activism, and his work to promote
religious cooperation and interfaith dialogue.
