His Holiness’s new book, “Voice for the voiceless,” chronicles over seventy years of struggle with the Chinese government, including his experiences, summaries, and guidance. After its publication, it has sparked new interest and discussion throughout the exile community, with many young people purchasing and promoting it in moving ways.

A short introduction published in the New York Times notes that although His Holiness the Dalai Lama has written many influential books on various topics internationally, apart from his two previous autobiographies, he hasn’t written books detailing political processes. This book outlines the Tibet-China relations from Mao to Xi and the challenges faced by Tibetan society and culture. The book includes special statements such as “I hope to visit Tibet once during my lifetime.”

While the book’s target audience is broadly defined, as evident in many sections, it is particularly aimed at Tibetans living in exile in free countries. It’s important not only to purchase the book, give it as a gift, and read it privately but also to engage in discussions based on the reading process and experience, though there have been more verbal discussions than written analyses.
