‘The most influential person in the world.’
— Time magazine
‘My dear friend His Holiness the Dalai Lama is not simply a holy man. He is recognized throughout the world as one of our few true moral authorities. In his new book, My Spiritual Autobiography, he shares lessons learned from a remarkable life, in turn showing us how to live our own lives with compassion, non-violence and love.’
— Fellow Nobel Peace Prize Laureate, Desmond Tutu
‘He draws crowds that no other spiritual leader or politician could hope to match… he seems to look at life in a different way to everyone else.’
— The Times
This vivid and moving autobiographical portrait is the first work dedicated to the Dalai Lama’s spiritual journey. Personal in tone but universal in scope, it presents the arc of his spiritual vision from his boyhood in rural Tibet, through his life as a monk in India, to his exile as one of the world’s most visible leaders.
We learn of his childhood, his recognition as the reincarnated Dalai Lama, his early life as a novice monk and heir to the Lion Throne, and the spiritual practices and experiences that shaped him into the wise yet humble leader he is today.
In this remarkable book, he reflects on religion and politics, religious militancy, environmental responsibility, the future of Tibet, succession, and even the possibility of a future female incarnation — offering thoughtful insights shaped by devotion, compassion and lived experience.
