This volume is a graphic adaptation of the story of the 14th Dalai Lama's country and people, their struggles, and his policy of nonviolence.
At the age of two, Tenzin Gyatso, child of a peasant family in northeastern Tibet, was recognised as the reincarnation of his predecessor, the Thirteenth Dalai Lama- the manifestation of the Buddha of Compassion. Just fourteen years later, this extraordinary young man assumed full political power over his nation upon the invasion of Chinese forces, and he has since become one of the most influential spiritual leaders of our time.
