Dalai Lama - Life & Legacy, In a Fly (ePub)

A peace loving country, home to rich cultural identity has been sieged, its ruler banished, its existence threatened. Sixty years since His Highness, the 14th Dalai Lama has left his motherland in fear of loss of life at the hands of Chinese interlopers. A country that has its spiritual leader at its helm, who is the embodiment of eternal peace and compassion, has been stripped of its right to exist as one. Dalai Lama who is revered all around the world and a Nobel laureate for peace has been forced to live in India for the past 60 years by a cantankerous neighbor. Tibet once had its own government, passport, currency, stamps and flag but is now denied its ancient history and lineage and is hectored to be either part of China or live in exile forever.

When world nations are waging information and technology wars to emerge as a superpower, there is a group of people who are living on a foreign soil for the past 60 years, hoping and praying that their motherland be given back to them. When the world powers are involved in diplomatic and strategic trade wars to hector and hegemonize each other, the Tibetans live each day clinging to a desperate hope that one day they can go back to the land they call their home.

A book that tells the story of a people that had to flee its motherland to live in a foreign land, it rips one's heart to read about their plight unable to go back to their place of birth. The story of the people of Tibet is a tragic one but it is also one of eternal compassion and resilience even when in the teeth of abject aggression. It also tells the story of India's nonpareil tolerance to another culture, religion and tradition and its generosity and kindness towards a populace who don't even belong to its country. India not only gave the Dalai Lama a safe home but also all rights to continue to preserve their unique identity which was denied in their own soil due to Chinese aggression.

Why does an Asian Communist giant like China need a theocracy like Tibet? Will China ever free Tibetans and their land? Will Dalai Lama end three centuries-old Tibetan culture? Will the Tibetans ever be able to go home? Will the roof of the world accept defeat or achieve its freedom in this enduring non-violent strive? Read this book to know all about the 14th Dalai Lama and the people of Tibet!
