MY LAND AND MY PEOPLE
by the Dalai Lama

271 pp.

#LAPE - regular price $ 13.95
Our Price $11.16

As a young man in exile, the Dalai Lama wrote this testament which re-creates the miraculous search that identified him as the reincarnated leader of Tibet. It paints a rare, intimate portrait of Tibetan Buddhism--a way of life that would end with a terrifying foreign invasion surpassing sanity and reason. It reveals his evolution from a gentle monk to a world leader who still struggles to free his country--and in the process has touched many hearts with the goodness that makes him one of the most beloved men.
