This first-ever series of in-depth dialogues with Samdhong
Rinpoche, the current Prime Minister of the Tibetan
Government-in-Exile, presents his refreshing views on a wide range
of pressing topics including the problems of the present political
world order, the philosophy of "non-violence" (Ahimsa) and
"truth-insistence" (Satyagraha) and the plight of Tibet in the face
of the communist Chinese invasion. Informed throughout by his deep
belief in the principles of Tibetan Buddhism, "Samdhong Rinpoche"
holds to an uncompromising vision of the Truth - the way the world
could be if it renounced its destructive path of unprincipled
pragmatism and worldly compromise. Venerable Professor Samdhong
Rinpoche was born in 1939 in the Tibetan province of Kham. At the
age of five he was recognised and enthroned as the reincarnation of
the fourth Samdhong Rinpoche. In 1959 he fled to India to escape
the repressive Chinese government in Tibet. There he was
commissioned by His Holiness the Dalai Lama to serve as a teacher
to monks in exile. In 2001, Rinpoche was named Prime Minister of
the Tibetan Exile Government, the first political leader to be
directly elected by the people in exile. "Rinpoche is a great
scholar, with a deep and vast understanding of Buddhist philosophy,
both Sutra and Tantra; not only a scholar but a great practitioner,
living in the meaning." - Lama Zopa Rinpoche, one of the world's
most beloved Tibetan teachers. This book includes a foreword by His
Holiness, the 14th Dalai Lama.
