'Because violence can only breed more violence and suffering, our struggle must remain non-violent and free of hatred.'  His Holiness, the 14th Dalai Lama

At the age two, Tenzin Gyatso, child of a peasant family in northeastern Tibet, was recognized as the reincarnation of his predecessor, the Thirteenth Dalai Lama-the manifestation of the Buddha of Compassion.  Just fourteen years later, this extraordinary young man assumed full political power over his nation upon the invasion of Chinese forces, and he has since become one of the most influential spiritual leaders of our time.  This is the story of his extraordinary life, told vividly and unforgettably through the art of manga.
