Instant New York Times Bestseller

The Dalai Lama has had to contend with the People's Republic of China his entire life. He was 15 years old when communist China invaded Tibet in 1950, only 19 when he had his first meeting with Chairman Mao in Beijing, and 24 when he was forced to escape to India and became a leader in exile. Almost 75 years after China's initial invasion of Tibet, the Dalai Lama has faced communist China's leaders - Mao Zedong, Deng Xiaoping, Jiang Zemin, Hu Jintao and Xi Jinping - in his effort to protect Tibet and its people.

In Voice for the Voiceless, the Dalai Lama reminds the world of Tibet's unresolved struggle for freedom and the hardship his people continue to face in their homeland. The book captures his extraordinary life, uncovering what it means to lose your home to a repressive invader and build a life in exile; dealing with the existential crisis of a nation, its people, and its culture and religion; and envisioning the path forward.

Voice for the Voiceless is a powerful testimony from a global icon, sharing both his pain and his enduring hope in his people's ongoing quest to restore dignity and freedom.

He is an important voice for compassion, and in recognition of his advocacy for world peace and environmental concerns, he was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1989.

Rezensionen
"In the twilight of his life, the world's most famous Buddhist monk casts a benign but rueful eye back at the past . . . As an exponent of universal compassion who deals in prayer and oracles and divination, we might say that it is the Dalai Lama's business to appeal to the soul and the spirit, and in Voice for the Voiceless he does so with exceptional grace. Even as he describes one bad setback after another, he gives witness to a tradition of almost unearthly sweetness and magnanimity." - Wall Street Journal

"Voice for the Voiceless is more than a political memoir; it is a declaration of Tibetan identity, nonviolent resistance, and survival . . . The journey traced in Voice for the Voiceless is remarkable. . . . . From fleeing Chinese bullets and bombs as a young man to decades later receiving the Nobel Peace Prize for his unwavering commitment to nonviolence, the Dalai Lama's story is one of resilience, transformation, and purpose." - The Lion's Roar

"Pulls no punches . . . If Tibetan identity survives, history will point to [The Dalai Lama] as the key figure in that achievement." - Council on Foreign Relations
