"Really good - filled with beautiful color prints and several essays/articles on the 14th Dalai Lama. I learned a ton from this book. One essay is about how the Dalai Lama was recognized as the reincarnation of the 13th Dalai Lama when he was 3 1/2 years old (another essay explains the strategy behind the 13th Dalai Lama's decision to be reincarnated so as to be young enough to deal with the political problems that Tibet was to face). Another essay explains the history of Tibet's struggles with China and how the Dalai Lama came to be in exile. But my favorite part of the book is a very hopeful piece on the future of the world, based on 4 factors that the Dalai Lama recognizes in the way humanity deals now with the world. One is that we have build mass weapons to such a destructive scale that they actually cannot be used, so we are turning to non-violence as the new way to resolve issues. Another is the fact that although people used to believe that technology held the answers to everything, we have now started to see the use of our planet's resources destroyed by technology. So, humanity is now waking up to the fact that we have to take care of the planet. So yes, the world stinks but maybe that's exactly what we need to serve as an impetus to shake up people into making better decisions. Very interesting..."
"This book is very inspirational, the photographs, beautiful. I especially enjoyed learning how His Holiness was discovered at a very young age. I have seen the movies mentioned in this book: Seven Years in Tibet, Kundun, and Windhorse. I recommend them all. I especially liked Kundun, although it was very sad."
