Over the course of three years, journalist Thomas Laird spent more than sixty hours with His Holiness the Dalai Lama in candid, one-on-one interviews that covered His Holiness\u2019s beliefs on history, science, reincarnation, and his lifelong study of Buddhism. Traveling across great distances to offer vivid descriptions of Tibet\u2019s greatest monasteries, Laird brings his meetings with His Holiness to life in a rich and vibrant historical narrative that outlines the essence of thousands of years of civilization, myth, and spirituality. His Holiness introduces us to Tibet\u2019s greatest yogis and meditation masters, and explains how the institution of the Dalai Lama was founded. Embedded throughout this journey is His Holiness\u2019s lessons on the larger roles religion and spirituality have played in Tibet\u2019s story, reflecting the Dalai Lama\u2019s belief that history should be examined not only conventionally but holistically. The Story of Tibet is His Holiness\u2019s personal look at his country\u2019s past as well as a summation of his life\u2019s work as both spiritual and temporal leader of the Tibetan people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Published by Grove Press, 2006<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Story of Tibet: Conversations with the Dalai Lama The Story of Tibet is a work of monumental importance, a fascinating journey through the land and history of Tibet, with His Holiness the Fourteenth Dalai Lama as guide.
