Tibet’s Struggle - Universal Message of Dalai Lama

Dalai Lama has very nicely quoted “One clear lesson we know from history is this: If you keep people permanently unhappy, you cannot have a stable society.” Tibetan spiritual leader the 14th Dalai Lama, who turns 90 this July, has released a new book ‘Voice for the Voiceless” that offers insights into his decades-long dealings with China.

He points out “My hope is that the book will... provide a framework for the future of Tibet even after I am gone.”

The spiritual leader of Tibet has published amply but seldom written in depth about politics. Now, as he approaches 90, he shares a detailed and personal account of his decades dealing with China. According to publisher HarperCollins, through the book, almost 75 years after China’s initial invasion of Tibet, the Dalai Lama reminds the world of Tibet's unresolved struggle for freedom and the hardship his people continue to face in their homeland. He offers his thoughts on the geopolitics of the region and shares how he was able to preserve his own humanity through the profound losses and challenges that threaten the survival of Tibetans.
