"A very awsum biography of a lama's start in his journey on discovery.
Sweet at times, funny and sometimes very disturbing. Talking about people falling to their death as if it's nothing. I would like to undergo that surgery though. And I definitely HAVE to meet the Dalai Lama."
"This book is telling us story about a process of a boy being a priest in Tibet. Through his story, we can get a glimpse of their spiritual life, belief, culture, the way of life, division of labor in Tibet, how they view life, how the monastery runs, etc."
