The suppression of Tibet's cultural heritage has the potential to
set a precedent for all oppressed peoples of the world. Perched on
the top of the world, changes in Tibet's ecosystem affect the
entire global climate. And, most importantly, Tibet is the
spiritual and physical home of His Holiness the Dalai Lama, though
he can never return. But why should Tibet matter to you? Tibet is
more than its mountains, its monks, and its martyrs. Robert
Thurman, renowned Tibetan scholar, teacher, and activist, presents
his provocative, five-point plan that will enable China to win the
respect of the entire world by allowing Tibet to regain its
cultural, economic, and political autonomy. Thurman shows how the
Dalai Lama's tireless work is the harbinger of peace for the world
and essential for human survival. The book outlines several key
factors that will educate and empower readers to take action: What
is the history of Tibet, and how do the political, religious,
ecological, and social factors affect each other?- Who is the Dalai
Lama, and why does his work matter to the world? What does the
China-Tibet relationship mean to the global community? What can
individuals do to bring attention to this issue, and make a change
where they are? How can the five-point plan be used as a model of
peaceful change throughout the world?
