RATING: C+
A chunky book covering not only the
lives of the 14 Dalai Lamas to date, but the surrounding history.
While some of the facts given do not match those in other books, as a
whole the historical background is helpful in showing the full
picture. I much approve of the concluding comment, and am in
agreement with it. Now that the Dalai Lama has brought Tibetan
Buddhism to the whole world, there will likely be interest in his
next incarnation arising all around our planet when such time comes
for his next rebirth. There will likely be people all over our earth
that seek the next Chenrezig incarnation, not only in Tibet.
I would recommend this book to those
with an interest in Tibetan history, the institution of the Dalai
Lama, and Tibetan Buddhism.
