"This is the story of the early life and escape from the Chinese of a young tulku of Tibet, an incarnate lama of high rank, as told to Esme Cramer Roberts in Oxford. Born in a cow byre in 1939, he was installed at the age of thirteen months and for the tenth successive time as the religious head and supreme abbot of the Surmang group of monasteries. The account of his religious education is - to Westerners - quite fantastic. His description of the meditational centres and seminaries and of his tutors and spiritual teachers is absorbing. The book shows, in particular, the quality of human life as lived in Tibet at all levels." - from dust-jacket blurb.
