Norman,Alexander
DALAI LAMA : Extraordinary Life - 1 - UP Harper Collins India 2020/01/01 - 411
Alexander Norman knows the Dalai Lama probably better than any Englishman alive Spectator The Dalai Lama recounts an astonishing odyssey from an isolated Tibetan village to worldwide standing as spiritual and political leader of one of the worlds most profound and complex cultural traditions. Norman reveals that while the Dalai Lama has never been comfortable with his political position, he has been a canny player--at one time CIA-backed--who has manoeuvred amidst pervasive violence, including placing himself at the centre of a dangerous Buddhist schism. Yet even more surprising than the political, Norman convinces, is the Dalai Lamas extreme spiritual practice, rooted in magic, vision, and prophecy--details of which are revealed in this book for the first time. This is the definitive biography of one of todays most radical, charismatic and beloved world leaders.
