Title : Tibet my story - Jetsun Pema - book

Summary :

In 1996, millions of Europeans were able to discover, on the occasion of her visit to Paris and Brussels, the radiant personality of Jetsun Pema, the one all Tibetans call Amala: the Mother. Younger sister of the Dalai Lama, founder more than thirty years ago of the Tibetan Children's Village, which takes in ten thousand orphaned Tibetan children, Jetsun Pema has been linked to the history of this country since the day when religious leaders recognized in her three-year-old brother Tenzin Gyatso the reincarnation of the thirteenth Dalai Lama. From her native village to the palaces of Lhasa, then on the roads of exile in India and Switzerland, the entire Tibetan tragedy is brought to life here, from the invasion by the Chinese army in 1951, to this official trip in 1980 during which Jetsun Pema was able to discover with her own eyes the suffering endured by a people stubbornly faithful to their traditions and their faith. It is also the tireless struggle of a woman driven by an ideal of tolerance and peace, deeply confident, despite all setbacks, in the future of her country.
