SIGNED BY HIS HOLINESS
This is the compelling life story of Tenzin Gyatso, the 14th Dalai Lama, spiritual leader of Tibet and Nobel Peace Prize laureate. Written with clarity and humility, the work recounts his discovery as a child incarnation, the Chinese occupation of Tibet, his dramatic 1959 flight into exile, and the establishment of a government-in-exile in India. More than memoir, it is a meditation on compassion and resilience, set against the backdrop of modern geopolitics. Published shortly after his Nobel recognition, it cemented his role as a global voice for peace, nonviolence, and cultural survival—a personal testimony and historical record of enduring significance.
Briefly inscribed and signed by the Dalai Lama in Tibetan script on the title page.
