Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

These are the true stories of nine Buddhist monks - of life in Tibet under Communist rule, their amazing and often miraculous journey across the vast mountain range of the Himalayas to freedom and exile in India, of the day-to-day work and study at the Drepung Gomang Monastery, and their eye opening views of American culture. Most importantly, this book illustrates the resilience of the human spirit under the most trying circumstances powered by faith, compassion, hope and love. Features an 8 page color photo insert.

Synopsis:

This collection of first hand accounts in which a group of young monks describe the fears and frustrations that continue to drive people to leave Tibet, brave the Himalayan passes and seek their fortunes in an unknown land is especially valuable. I hope that readers of In Their Own Words will not only be moved by these individuals' stories, but will also be persuaded of the justice of the Tibetan cause and will be inclined to give it their support. ---The Dalai Lama (from the Foreword)
