by Dalai Lama XIV, Thomas Laird

Description

Grove Press, 2006. Hardcover. Brand New. 9.30 x 6.30 x 1.50. Brand new. Never read or owned. May have a remainder mark. 30.4 oz. In a series of candid interviews with the Dalai Lama, the spiritual leader speaks out about the land, people, culture, history, traditions, and spirituality of Tibet, discussing the role played by religion and spirituality in the nation's history, the Dalai Lama's flight into exile in 1959, his personal religious beliefs, and his lifelong study of Buddhism. What emerges from [Laird Thomas and the Dalai Lama's] give-and-take is a thoughtful dialogue (call it a philosophical dialectic) about Tibet's past not simply as a sequence of events, but as seen through the perspective of myth, spirituality, morality, human frailty and fate. -- Â (08/15/2006). .
