Dalai Lama: Man, Monk, Mystic – Mayank Chhaya

A rich, nuanced portrait of one of the world’s most revered spiritual and political figures. Journalist Mayank Chhaya goes beyond the icon to explore the man — his beliefs, his politics, his ideals, and the extraordinary circumstances that have shaped them.

Chhaya writes with depth and care about Tibet and the Buddhist tradition from which the Dalai Lama emerged, helping readers understand the full context of his life in exile. He illuminates the highly complex conflict between China and Tibet, the various roles the Dalai Lama has assumed for his followers, and the growing discontent among younger Tibetans frustrated with the nonviolent approach to Chinese occupation that he advocates.
