reviewed Surviving the Dragon: A Tibetan Lama's Life Under Chinese Rule on January 13, 2021 Surviving the Dragon: A Tibetan Lama's Life Under Chinese Rule
So so heartbreaking but beautiful. Arjia Rinpoche has this way of telling stories that distills the extraordinary into seemingly ordinary terms. So many passages I had to read five, six times before even beginning to grasp their truth.
"The horror of my story was not just what had happened to so many Tibetans, Mongolians, and Chinese - that was normal in Tibet throughout the 1960s and again in the 1980s. No, the true horror resided in the possibility that those terrible experiences might divert our Tibetan people's karma away from the blessings of future happiness."
