Product Description
In 1938 a two-year-old boy was identified as the reincarnation of the past Dalai Lamas, the spiritual rulers of Tibet, through a conventional method of discovery. Taken apart from his mother, following a monastic system of strict discipline and almost complete isolation, he was brought up in Lhasa. At the age of seven, he was enthroned as the supreme spiritual leader of a country of the size of Western Europe, with a population of six million, in the 1000-room Potala palace. And he became head of state at 15. In 1938 a two-year-old boy was identified as the reincarnation of the past Dalai Lamas, the spiritual rulers of Tibet, through a conventional method of discovery.
