///Förlagets beskrivning: This dignified testament by a great 3spiritual and temporal leader,
driven into exile hy Communist China, is one of the most heartbreaking documents ever
pubhlished. His holiness the fourteenth Dalai Lama of Tibet relates the story of his brief.
tumultuous reign climaxed by the appalling destruction and systematic murder of his people by the Chinese. A civilized, compassionate man and a sincere reformer, he writes of the simple Tibetan life into which he was born, and among whom he, as the reincarmation of his
predecessor, was discovered and declared Dala! Lama according to his country's ancient customs.
During and after the invasion, the International Commission of Jurists undertook a detailed study of the situation. The horror uncovered by
the Commission surpassed sanity and reason, and it is detailed in these pages. My land And My People is a tragic book. Yet it is deeply inspiring, for the whole story is toldwith the gentle forgiving spirit of a Buddhist monk.
