His Holiness The Dalai Lama, the remarkable exiled spiritual and temporal head of Tibet, is a statesman for our troubled times. This collection of 11 essays by scholars, writers, theologians, and others whose lives he has touched represents a broad spectrum of perspectives on this Nobel Peace Prize recipient who is also a living Buddha to six million followers.

Included among the contributions are personal reflections by those who have been privileged to get to know His Holiness, as well as illuminating introductions to some of his core beliefs.
Editor Rajiv Mehrotra, who contributes the book’s first essay, says of the Dalai Lama, "As with all truly great and inspiring leaders, his life is his message and philosophy." The essays in this volume shed light on that fascinating life . . . painting the portrait of a tireless champion of compassion, altruism, and peace who is both deeply spiritual and disarmingly human.

      Of the making of books by, for, and about His Holiness the Dalai Lama of Tibet, arguably the most recognizable religious leader of our time since the death of Mother Teresa, there is and will be no end. The Hampton Roads book is a pocket-sized selection of one- and two-page reflections on "Tibet and Life in Exile," "The World Today," and "Life, Death, and Rebirth." It should serve as an excellent teaser for readers new to the Dalai Lama and a handy portable for his followers. The Hay House book is a collection of variedbut uniformly respectful, not to say worshipfulviews of His Holiness, personal, political, and theological. Many readers will find Robert A.F. Thurman's thumbnail sketch of the Dalai Lama useful. For larger collections.
