Description
About the author
Contents
For the first time here is the story of the crucible that created the Dalai Lama the world knows today: the Lama's 14-day escape from Tibet to India in 1959, an awe-inspiring feat of courage and endurance that foiled Mao's plans and created the Tibetan government in exile.
eter Kingsley is an honorary professor at both Simon Fraser University in Canada and the University of New Mexico. He is the author of Ancient Philosophy, Mystery, and Magic; In the Dark Places of Wisdom; and Reality. He lives in Asheville, North Carolina.
