Story5 out of 5 stars 87
Lama Yeshe didn't see a car until he was 15 years old. In his quiet village, he and other children ran in fields with yaks and mastiffs. The rhythm of life was anchored by the pastoral cycles. Food was carefully apportioned and eaten together, everyone was family. The arrival of Chinese army cars one day in 1959 changed everything. In the wake of the deadly Tibetan Uprising, he escaped to India through the Himalayas to start over as a refugee.

Absolutely wonderful to read.

I loved nearly every aspect of this book. The story and what Tibet had to go through when China invaded them is tragic, yet very intriguing, and hearing/reading a first hand account followed by everything else that happened in Lama Yeshe Losal Rinpoches life was a beautiful story. Highly recommend
