dalai lama

"In this brief yet profound address to global humanity, His Holiness the Dalai Lama of Tibet reveals that we all hold the seeds of world peace within us: 'I see with ever greater clarity that our spiritual well-being depends,' the Nobel Peace Prize winner writes, 'on our innate human nature, our natural affinity for goodness, compassion, and caring for others.' ... outlines both the inward and outward paths to peace, addressing a wide range of contemporary topics--from the rise of nationalism, Trump presidency, refugee crisis, climate catastrophes, and materialism to meditation, universal ethics, and even neuroscience" -- Provided by publisher.

This is the story of Tibet's Dalai Lama's struggle to rule a nation at a politically challenging time in its history.

In November 1943 five American airmen flying the dangerous Himalayan supply route were caught in a violent storm and blown far off their intended course. Bailing out just seconds before their plane ran out of fuel, they found themselves in the heart of Tibet. They were among the first Americans to enter the Forbidden City of Lhasa and the last to see it before the Chinese invasion.
