Informative, interesting, inspiring,
By notyouraveragedame (Appleton, WI) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Autobiography of a Tibetan Monk (Hardcover)
This is a great book. I am an activist for Tibetan independence and knew much about the atrocities taking place in Tibet since 1949, but this book put a face to the facts. I highly recommend this book if you're interested in Tibet, Buddhism, or in learning about a remarkable man who went through horrible oppression and has emerged gracefully.

The strength of a person,
By Ahhling "Ahhling" (NY, NY) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Autobiography of a Tibetan Monk (Paperback)
I've read a few books about the sufferings of Tibetans by now, but still, this book managed to affect me and make me stop and think. Again and again. First of all, how has nothing changed since this book confirmed that China is continuing to do all it can to wipe out the culture, religion and spirit of Tibet? I know I have responsibility to speak up about this (and I will) but I still can't believe that higher powers up there did not stop China by now. Anyway, back to the book- Palden Gyatso is the image of courage, compassion and inner strength. I read passages of how he was tortured and bullied and then would flip to the inner photo of this tiny, frail man-astonishing! I see now that the determined and strong look on his face at the UK Independence rally co-exists with the gentle, loving portrait on the cover and it's a wonderful combination. This book reminded me that it takes deep courage to stand up for who you are and what you believe in but there is no greater purpose for each of us than to aim for that goal with all that we have. Read this book to better understand why Tibet needs our support but also to re-instill your own will to be a decent,kind and courageous human being.

A Powerful Meeting of Palden Gyasto in San Francisco,
By James L. Johnson (Santa Rosa, CA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Autobiography of a Tibetan Monk (Paperback)
Palden Gyasto was the featured speaker at the Union Center Rally, March 20, 1999. Through an interpeter he gave his compasionate address. Just before his address he kindly signed my copy of his book and blessed my Khata that my son had brought me from Tibet. His story is a lesson is compassion which is created, I believe by his devotion to his Buddist Training. His book gives a rare first hand account of his trying experiences. This is another authentic record of the unchecked communist genocide and repression which exists today.
