NATIONAL BESTSELLER - For Buddhists and non-Buddhists alike, "an exceptionally intimate portrait" (Elizabeth Gilbert, author of Eat, Pray, Love) of the Dalai Lama--one of the most singular figures of our time.

For over three decades, Pico Iyer, one of our most cherished travel writers, has been a friend to the Dalai Lama. Over these years through intimate conversations, he has come to know him in a way that few can claim.
