Self-serving ‘Fat Businessman’, or wise negotiator? The most thorough research on the tenth Panchen Lama to date examines as many oral and written records as possible in several languages, to examine the entire life and work of the Tenth Panchen Lama, who chose to stay in Tibet to help alleviate the suffering of the Tibetan people after His Holiness the Dalai Lama was forced to leave. In this fresh study, we look at his early life, his family, education, the politics at the time, and the conflicts around the recognition process. We look at the extent of his projects, work, negotiations with Chinese leaders and authorities, controversies and insults, and his deep commitment to the culture...

In this "chilling picture of the brutality of Chinese repression in Tibet" ("Wall Street Journal"), Hilton relates the 1995 kidnap and disappearance of a seven-year-old Tibetan boy believed to the the 11th incarnation of the Panchen Lama. 21 photos.
In 1959 the Dalai Lama emerged in India, where he set up his government in exile. Soon after he left Lhasa the Chinese People's Liberation Army pummeled the city in the "Battle of Lhasa." The Tibetans were forced to capitulate, putting Mao in a position to impose Communist rule over Tibet
Born in 1941, Tubten Khétsun is a nephew of the Gyatso Tashi Khendrung, one of the senior government officials taken prisoner after the Tibetan peoples' uprising of March 10, 1959. Khétsun himself was arrested while defending the Dalai Lama's summer palace, and after four years in prisons and labor camps, he spent close to two decades in Lhasa as a requisitioned laborer and "class enemy." In this eloquent autobiography, Khétsun describes what life was like during those troubled years. His account is one of the most dispassionate, detailed, and readable firsthand descriptions yet published of Tibet under the Communist occupation. Khétsun talks of his prison experiences as well as the stat...
On a peaceful summer day in 1952, ten monks on horseback arrived at a traditional nomad tent in northeastern Tibet where they offered the parents of a precocious toddler their white handloomed scarves and congratulations for having given birth to a holy child—and future spiritual leader. Surviving the Dragon is the remarkable life story of Arjia Rinpoche, who was ordained as a reincarnate lama at the age of two and fled Tibet 46 years later. In his gripping memoir, Rinpoche relates the story of having been abandoned in his monastery as a young boy after witnessing the torture and arrest of his monastery family. In the years to come, Rinpoche survived under harsh Chinese rule, as he was forced into hard labor and endured continual public humiliation as part of Mao's Communist "reeducation." By turns moving, suspenseful, historical, and spiritual, Rinpoche's unique experiences provide a rare window into a tumultuous period of Chinese history and offer readers an uncommon glimpse inside a Buddhist monastery in Tibet.
