This version of the first autobiography of His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama is the first book by the spiritual leader to be published in Assamese. Considered as one of the most moving memoirs ever to have been written, the book is His Holiness’ own version of his life in Tibet, Chinese aggression upon his people, and his eventual escape to India. The work also contains a brief introduction to Buddhism. Translated into Assamese by Indrani Laskar, the book has shattered all recent sales records in Assamese publishing.
