Freedom in Exile: The Autobiography of the Dalai Lama of Tibet
by the Dalai Lama
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.
When 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 a population of
six million. And at fifteen, he became head of state.
With Tibet under threat from the Communist Chinese, there followed a traumatic decade during which he became the confidant of both Chairman Mao and
Jawaharlal Nehru as he tried to maintain autonomy for his people. In 1959, he was finally forced into exile -- followed by over 100,000 destitute refugees. Since
then, in the exile in the Himalayan village of Dharmasala, he has devoted himself to the plight of his people and to promoting world peace through an unwavering
policy of non-violence.
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. He tells of secret deals struck with the CIA as Tibet from his standpoint as a spiritual and temporal figure of world renown.
'A touching book, that arouses great sympathy for its extraordinary author. --Spectator
'From the supernatural marvels of Shangri-La to the life-and-death manoeuverings of Realpolitik: an earnest, inspiring, and wholly captivating tale of spiritual
adventure.' --Kirkus Reviews
'An extraordinary story.' --Daily Mail
Paperback. 308 pages. Index.
