About the Book

The most thorough research on the tenth Panchen Lama to date examines as many oral and written records as possible in several languages, to examine the entire life and work of the Tenth Panchen Lama, who chose to stay in Tibet to help alleviate the suffering of the Tibetan people after His Holiness the Dalai Lama was forced to leave. In this fresh study, we look at his early life, his family, education, the politics at the time, and the conflicts around the recognition process. We look at the extent of his projects, work, negotiations with Chinese leaders and authorities, controversies and insults, and his deep commitment to the culture, language, education and well-being of the people of Tibet, as well as Tibetan Buddhism. It examines all possible records of his relationship, faith in and contact with His Holiness, his advice and guidance to representatives from Exile, his many works and his longstanding commitment to protecting Tibetan people in dangerous times.
