Those Who Light the Way : His Holiness the XIV. Dalai Lama

Despite all the tragic political entanglements of the 20th century, it was still a century of significant spiritual awakening. Never before in the history of mankind have so many inspired teachers been known to us, both in the East and the West.To outline their unusual lives, and to preserve their most important teachings, we are inaugurating a series, Those Who Light the Way -- not for the purpose of worship, but to provide a means of orientation. This first volume is dedicated to the religious leader of Tibetan Buddhists and the head of the Tibetan government in exile. Born in 1935 in the province of Amdo in Eastern Tibet, he is the one person in this series whose path has been most shaped by political events. This book explains who he is, his impact on the West in particular, and what his lasting message for the world might be.Michel, Peter is the author of 'Those Who Light the Way : His Holiness the XIV.
