Zusammenfassung
A book about Tibet through the eyes of a devotee - a stranger hiding in plain sight. It discusses how a culture's rich spiritual past is slipping away against the force of a tyrannical future. It focuses on how Tibetans live today, and the tenacity of their faith in the future in spite of dire repression and abuse.
