Book excerpt: The first authoritative biography of the Dalai Lama--a story by turns inspiring and shocking--from an acclaimed Tibetan scholar with exceptional access to his subject. The Dalai Lama's message of peace and compassion resonates with people of all faiths and none. Yet, for all his worldwide fame, he remains personally elusive. At last Alexander Norman--acclaimed Oxford-trained scholar of the history of Tibet--delivers the definitive, unique, unforgettable biography. The Dalai Lama recounts an astonishing odyssey from isolated Tibetan village to worldwide standing as spiritual and political leader of one of the world's most profound and complex cultural traditions. Norman reveals that, while the Dalai Lama has never been comfortable with his political position, he has been a canny player--at one time CIA-backed--who has maneuvered amidst pervasive violence, including placing himself at the center of a dangerous Buddhist schism. Yet even more surprising than the political, Norman convinces, is the Dalai Lama's astonishing spiritual practice, rooted in magic, vision, and prophecy--details of which are illuminated in this book for the first time. A revelatory life story of one of today's most radical, charismatic, and beloved world leaders.

Book excerpt: In 1938 a two year old boy was recognised through a traditional process of discovery as being the reincarnation of all previous Dalai Lamas, the spiritual rulers of Tibet. Taken away from his parents, he was brought up in Lhasa according to a monastic regimen of rigorous austerity and in almost total isolation. Aged seven he was enthroned in the 1000-room Potala palace as the supreme spiritual leader of a nation the size of Western Europe, with population of six million. And at fifteen, he became head of state. With Tibet under threat from the newly Communist Chinese, there followed a traumatic decade during which he became the confidant of both Chairman Mao and Jawaharal Nehru as he tried to maintain autonomy for his people. Then in 1959, he was finally forced into exile - followed by over 100,000 destitute refugees. Here, in his own words, he describes what it was like to grow up revered as a deity among his people, reveals his innermost feelings about his role, and discusses the mysteries of Tibetan Buddhism.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Looking out of his carriage; the Dalai Lama saw people crying with joy. Their Kundun had returned. Born to a family of farmers in a remote corner of Tibet; Lhamo Dhondup; was recognized as the fourteenth reincarnation of the Dalai Lama at the age of two. He took charge of his country in 1950 when the Chinese invaded Tibet. The rest of his teens were spent in negotiations with the Chinese government. However; as Chinese violence against Tibetans increased; Kundun was forced to flee his native land. His escape over the Himalayas is the stuff of adventure novels. Exiled now in India for over five decades; the Dalai Lama constantly champions Tibet’s independence while remaining its greatest spiritual mentor. He received the Nobel Prize in 1989 for his non-violent efforts to gain freedom for his country. Rich in personal anecdotes; this engaging biography shows how Kundun blends spirituality with politics. To the Tibetans; the Dalai Lama is God incarnate. To the world; he is the face of Tibet. To young readers; he can be a living embodiment of the ideals of peace; democracy and freedom.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the realm of spiritual leadership and global influence, few figures command as much reverence and admiration as His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama, Tenzin Gyatso. Born in 1935 in the quaint town of Takster, Amdo, Tibet, his journey has been a tapestry woven with threads of profound wisdom, unwavering compassion, and a commitment to peace that has resonated far beyond the borders of his homeland. This biography seeks to unravel the layers of the Dalai Lama's life, providing a comprehensive exploration of the man behind the title. As we embark on this literary journey, we will traverse the significant chapters of his existence — from the early years of recognition as the reincarnation of the 13th Dalai Lama to his escape from the Chinese-occupied Tibet in 1959, which marked a pivotal turning point in his life. Beyond the geopolitical landscape, we will delve into the Dalai Lama's educational pursuits, shedding light on the intellectual foundations that shaped his spiritual outlook. His commitment to learning and deepening his understanding of Buddhist philosophy has been a cornerstone of his leadership, paving the way for a spiritual journey that transcends the boundaries of tradition and embraces the universality of human experience. Chapter by chapter, we will navigate the tumultuous events that unfolded during the Chinese invasion of Tibet in 1950, exploring the Dalai Lama's assumption of political leadership at a tender age and his subsequent escape to India, where he laid the foundation for the Tibetan government in exile. The narrative will unfold against the backdrop of historical and political challenges, providing insights into the resilience and fortitude that define his character. Throughout this biography, we will trace the evolution of the Dalai Lama's role as a global ambassador for peace, as evidenced by his receipt of the Nobel Peace Prize in 1989. His ceaseless efforts in advocating for human rights, interfaith dialogue, and environmental causes will be illuminated, showcasing the depth of his commitment to creating a world imbued with compassion and understanding. As we explore the personal and public dimensions of the Dalai Lama's life, we will also encounter the profound teachings and philosophies that have resonated with millions worldwide. His emphasis on secular ethics, mindfulness, and the promotion of human values serves as a guiding light in a world often fraught with challenges. In the subsequent chapters, we will unravel the threads of his autobiography, "My Land and My People," pilgrimage to Buddhist holy sites, and the establishment of educational initiatives aimed at preserving Tibetan culture. The dialogue with Chinese authorities, his significant contributions to the Mind and Life Institute, and the extensive global teaching tours will be detailed, providing a holistic view of his multifaceted impact. This biography is not merely a chronological account of events but a journey into the heart and mind of a spiritual leader whose legacy transcends the boundaries of time and space. As we navigate through the chapters that follow, we will discover the essence of the Dalai Lama's message, his reflections on life's challenges and triumphs, and the profound wisdom encapsulated in his quotations. So, dear reader, join me on this odyssey as we uncover the extraordinary life of the Dalai Lama, a beacon of compassion, a proponent of peace, and a living testament to the transformative power of the human spirit.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This bibliography is a record of British relations with Tibet in the period 1765 to 1947. As such it also involves British relations with Russia and China, and with the Himalayan states of Ladakh, Lahul and Spiti, Kumaon and Garhwal, Nepal, Sikkim, Bhutan and Assam, in so far as British policy towards these states was affected by her desire to establish relations with Tibet. It also covers a subject of some importance in contemporary diplomacy. It was the legacy of unresolved problems concerning Tibet and its borders, bequeathed to India by Britain in 1947, which led to border disputes and ultimately to war between India and China in 1962. These borders are still in dispute today. It also provides background information to Tibet's claims to independence, an issue of current importance. The work is divided into a number of sections and subsections, based on chronology, geography and events. The introductions to each of the sections provide a condensed and informative history of the period and place the books and article in their historical context. Most entries are also annotated. This work is therefore both a history and a bibliography of the subject, and provides a rapid entry into a complex area for scholars in the fields of international relations and military history as well as Asian history.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Signs of Reincarnation provides the first comprehensive look at the belief in reincarnation and the evidence for past lives from historical records, anthropological studies, and contemporary research. Matlock discusses various ways the evidence may be interpreted and shows that although reincarnation entails a rejection of the materialist notion that consciousness is generated by the brain, it does not require the acceptance of any radically new concepts or the abandonment of well-established findings in mainstream psychology or biology. This book offers students, scholars, and anyone interested in the possibility of reincarnation an essential grounding in beliefs, cases, and theory, while opening doors for future research into the extension of consciousness beyond our present lives.

Book excerpt: The Dalai Lama, born as Lhamo Thondup in the small village of Taktser, Tibet, in 1935, was recognized at a young age as the reincarnation of the 13th Dalai Lama. According to Tibetan Buddhist tradition, the Dalai Lama is believed to be the manifestation of Avalokiteshvara, the Bodhisattva of Compassion, and is chosen through a complex process involving visions and signs. At the age of five, Lhamo Thondup was formally enthroned as the 14th Dalai Lama, Tenzin Gyatso. As a celibate Buddhist monk, His Holiness the Dalai Lama has dedicated his life to the teachings of Buddhism, emphasizing the values of compassion, kindness, and altruism. His spiritual journey has been marked by a profound commitment to non-violence and peace, principles that have guided his actions and decisions throughout his life. Despite the challenges posed by the Chinese invasion of Tibet and his subsequent exile in 1959, the Dalai Lama has remained a steadfast advocate for the Tibetan people and their right to preserve their culture and religion. In 1989, His Holiness was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize, in recognition of his unwavering dedication to peaceful solutions and his efforts to promote global peace and understanding. The Dalai Lama's message of universal responsibility and his belief in the fundamental interconnectedness of all beings have resonated with people worldwide, transcending cultural and religious boundaries. For over six decades, the Dalai Lama has traveled extensively, meeting with world leaders, addressing international forums, and engaging with diverse communities. His teachings emphasize the importance of inner peace as a foundation for outer peace, and his infectious laughter and warm personality have endeared him to millions. This book is a collection of 100 of the Dalai Lama's most inspiring quotes, thoughts, and speeches. Whether you seek guidance on personal growth, contentment and happiness, spiritual enlightenment, or simply wish to be inspired by the words of one of the most enlightened souls of our time, this compilation offers profound insights and timeless lessons. Join us on a journey through the teachings of the Dalai Lama, and discover the unlimited potential for each of us to transform ourselves, and contribute to a more peaceful and harmonious world.
