Download The Autobiography of a Tibetan Monk AudioBook Free
Palden Gyatso was born in a Tibetan town in 1933 and became an ordained Buddhist monk at 18 just like Tibet was amid politics upheaval. When Communist China invaded Tibet in 1950, it embarked on a program of "reform" that would eventually affect all of Tibet's citizens and nearly decimate its traditional culture. In 1967, the China damaged monasteries across Tibet and pressured thousands of monks into labor camps and prisons. Gyatso put in another 25 years of his life long lasting interrogation and torture simply for the effectiveness of his beliefs. Palden Gyatso's account bears see to the resilience of the real human spirit, also to the effectiveness of Tibet's proud civilization, confronted with cultural genocide.
