I don't mind getting angry :) and I have wanted to read more about this region since high school.Zeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11504105694800511170noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6352625826349400447.post-51928764364930143672010-02-06T17:05:54.848+01:002010-02-06T17:05:54.848+01:00This is one of the first book I read by The Dalai ...This is one of the first book I read by The Dalai Lama before becoming a Buddhist myself. You did an amazing job of reviewing this book; you captured the essence of what The Dalai Lama teaches. <br />Kundun is another good book on the history of Tibet and the Dalai Lama. Here you receive a closer look at what the Chinese were up to and how they took Tibet over. There are many more books on the Chinese take over of Tibet, but be warned they may make you very angry.SariJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11576155931734364322noreply@blogger.com
