About the Book: My Land and My People:Memoors of the Dalai Lama of Tibet
This dignified testament by a great spiritual and temporal leader, driven into
exile by Communist China, is one of the most heartbreaking documents ever
published. His Holiness the fourteenth Dalai Lama of Tibet relates the story of
his brief, tumultuous reign climaxed by the appalling humiliation and systematic
murder of his people by the Chinese. A civilized, compassionate man and a
sincere reformer, he writes of the simple Tibetan life into which he was born,
and among whom he, as the reincarnation of his predecessor, was discovered and
declared Dalai Lama according
