Watch this special report on “the plight and paradox of Tibetan Buddhists. They teach nonviolence, but their demonstrations against the Chinese have sometimes become violent. How can they persuade the Chinese that they and the Dalai Lama are not a threat?” Lucky Severson interviews Lhadon Tethong, Robert Thurman and Tu Weiming on Religion & Ethics for PBS.
Photos, maps and illustrations from Why the Dalai Lama Matters. See them in large slide show with descriptions.
You can buy Why The Dalai Lama Matters, the new book by Robert Thurman, from your favorite local or online bookseller.
"No one has worked harder to bring Tibet, Tibetan Buddhism and the special power of the Dalai Lama to American audiences than Robert Thurman. Long may he write and, as in this latest work, bring learning and spirit, great vigor and close knowledge, together." — Pico Iyer
