Synopsis Noted travel writer and cultural commentator Pico Iyer writes with singular insight about the Dalai Lama, one of the world's most iconoclastic religious figures, and a longtime friend of Iyer's father. Iyer paints a portrait of a complicated man who plays roles in politics and spirituality, traveling the world as a celebrity while also performing arcane rituals in the isolated mountains of Tibet.

Industry Reviews "The combination of Iyer's exacting observations, incisive analysis, and frank respect for the unknowable results in a uniquely internalized, even empathic portrait of one of the world's most embraced and least understood guiding lights." (03/01/2008)
