Torrance, CA, U.S.A.: Heian International Publishing, Incorporated, 2000. Book. New. Pictorial Boards. First American Edition. 4to - over 9¾" - 12" tall. Torrance: Heian, 2000. First American edition. 4to. Pictorial boards. 125 pp., illustrated throughout. As new in dustjacket, protected with a mylar cover. Beautifully illustrated with color photographs and archival photos, this book traces the history of the Dalai Lamas back to Gedun Drub, the First Dalai Lama, in the 15th century. With their origins in the union of Mongol might with Tibetan wisdom (dalai is the Mongol word for ocean, lama the Tibetan for teacher, hence "ocean of wisdom"), the Dalai Lamas instituted an Asian power structure of religious leaders with military patronage, and often with temporal power over their homeland as well.

Pictorial boards, 95 pp. illustrated throughout with color photographs. As new in dustjacket, mylar cover. Dharamsala-literally, a place for shelter-is a city seemingly predestined to serve as the headquarters of the government-in-exile of the Fourteenth Dalai Lama. A tiny dot on the eastern Indian landscape, founded as a hill station by the British in 1846, Dharamsala is steeped in both Indian and Tibetan history, and today boasts a cosmopolitan populace.
