Overview
The Dalai LamaāsĀ message of peace and compassion resonates with people of all faiths and none.Ā Yet, for all his worldwide fame,Ā he remains personally elusive. Now, Alexander Norman, acclaimed Oxford-trained scholar of the history of Tibet,Ā delivers the definitive biographyāunique, multilayered,Ā and at times even shocking.
Ā
The Dalai Lama illuminatesĀ an astonishingĀ odyssey from isolated Tibetan village to worldwide standing asĀ spiritual and political leader ofĀ one of the worldās most profound and complexĀ cultural traditions. Norman reveals that, while the Dalai LamaĀ has never been comfortable with his political position, he has been a canny playerāat one time CIA-backedāwho hasĀ maneuvered amidstĀ pervasive violence, includingĀ placing himself at the center ofĀ a dangerous Buddhist schism. Yet even more surprising than the political, Norman convinces, is the Dalai Lamaās astonishing spiritual practice, rooted in magic,Ā vision, and prophecyādetails of which areĀ illuminated in this book for the first time.
A revelatory life story ofĀ one of todayāsĀ most radical,Ā charismatic, and beloved world leaders.
