The Dalai Lama of Tibet is one of the world's most beloved and respected spiritual figures. The amazing story of this "simple Buddhist monk", as he calls himself, reached a vast audience through the release of two major films: "Kundun", directed by Martin Scorcese, and "Seven Years in Tibet", starring Brad Pitt. With stirring text and striking color photographs, this intimate portrait shows the Dalai Lama in his many roles, from his childhood in Old Tibet to his current life on the world stage.
