| Abstract | The Dalai Lama's story is revealed from his early family life to his experiences in the world，his education as the 14th incarnation of the Lama, his exile in India and his current struggles to help Tibet regain its independence from China.
Marcello adds to her biographies of celebrities with an account of the leader of Tibetan Buddhism. He was born in 1932，installed as the Dalai Lama in 1940 and left Tibet in 1959 to avoid Chinese rule. The series is aimed at high school students.
Dalai Lama is both the living conscience of the Tibetan people and an internationally respected human rights symbol. His high-profile appearances and books have fueled the surging popularity of Buddhism in US and throughout the West. This new，up-to-date biography provides insight into the curious and winning personality of the Dalai Lama as a boy and his wisdom as a man.
The Buddhist spiritual worlds and the Dalai Lama's rarified role is engaging and evenly presented. The story is revealed from his early family life to his experiences in the world，his education as the 14th incarnation of the Lama, his exile in India and his current struggles to help Tibet regain its independence from China.
Especially helpful is the clear historical overview of the Tibetan crisis after the Chinese invasion. A timeline and glossary also supplement the text. Though the book is written especially for high school students doing reports, it will also be of immense interest to general readers. |
