The Dalai Lama sees himself first and foremost as a human being, secondly as a monk and thirdly as the political leader of Tibet. This book tells the unknown stories from his childhood, his formation as a monk and his gradual development as a leader of his people. It shows how he brings a sense of goodness and conscience to political life. And just like the previous occasions, again RightBooks.in is in business, this time with his eventful autobiography. The 14th Dalai Lama is a remarkable spiritual leader, who has won wide admiration from people of diverse beliefs and is feared and respected by those who would wish him silent. His quiet, eloquent voice tells us of his childhood, his spiritual training, and how he has met his three commitments in life - as a human being, as a Buddhist monk and as the Dalai Lama. It is in the latter role that he speaks most passionately, lamenting the subjugation of Tibet by China, describing how a theocracy has transformed into a democracy in exile, and explaining the policy called ‘the Middle Way’ towards China, which aspires to establish Tibet's autonomy within contemporary China. This vivid and moving portrait is the first work to be dedicated purely to the Dalai Lama's spiritual journey. His writings present the arc of his spiritual vision, from his boyhood in rural Tibet, through his life as a monk in India, to his exile as one of the world's most visible leaders. You will learn not only fresh and colourful stories from his childhood, revealing how a simple farmer's son passed mystical tests to confirm he was the reincarnated Dalai Lama, but also about his extraordinary upbringing as a young novice monk. You glimpse the experiences that have made him the charismatic, wise, yet humble man he is today. You hear his thoughts on many issues, spiritual and global, and gain new, thought-provoking insights into how he has transformed himself in order to have a positive effect on society. Through his example, we are encouraged to do the same, combining love and compassion with all that we do. There is a lot to imbibe from the book. Some of the episodes of Dalai Lama’s childhood and his spiritual journey will stay with you forever. The tone of the book is personal and but has a universal appeal. “My Spiritual Autobiography” explores three phases or commitments of his spiritual life — as a human being, as a Buddhist monk and as the Dalai Lama — each of which has made him more dedicated to exploring and teaching human values and inner happiness, promoting harmony among all religions and advocating for the civil rights and well-being of the Tibetan people. Dalai Lama’s autobiography is an offering to the world where each one of us can find something to learn from it.
