Wholesale His Holiness the Fourteenth Dalai Lama by Tenzin Geyche Tethong

[Interlink Publishing Group] "The photographs are rare and superb. The stories are fresh and beautifully told. I was transported. I love this book.” –Richard Gere This biography of the Dalai Lama—blessed by His Holiness himself—is the most authentic and intimate profile of the world’s greatest living spiritual figure. Tenzin Geyche Tethong, a close aide of His Holiness for forty years who became family, offers readers unprecedented access to the Dalai Lama in this beautifully illustrated book. The Dalai Lama’s youngest brother, Ngari Rinpoche Tenzin Choegyal, who was only 12 years old when he accompanied His Holiness on his dangerous 1959 escape to India, is a personal friend of Tethong and the mentor for this book project. As “elders” to the Tibetan community in exile, these men have come together to tell the true story of His Holiness—their brother, friend, and leader. Featuring previously unpublished photographs, as well as interviews and memories of those closest to him
