Synopsis

The extraordinary documentation of the evolving friendship between the Dalai Lama and the man who followed him across Ireland and Eastern Europe, on a pilgrimage to India's holy sites, and through the Dalai Lama's near fatal illness. 

On this remarkable journey Victor Chan was awarded an insight into His Holiness-his life, his fears, his faith, his compassion, his day-to-day practice-that no one has reported before. We've heard the public voice of His Holiness--now we are invited to listen in on his personal explorations, and to take instruction on the Tibetan art of living.

About The Author

Victor Chan is at the Institute of Asian Research of the University of British Columbia, and resides in Vancouver.

Even after twenty years from publication and a second reading for me, there is much to ponder as the Dalai Lama shares his philosophies.......more
