Three Lives in One Lifetime: An Interview With Kirti Rinpoche Lobsang Tenzin Jigme Yeshe Gyatso

At this very crucial juncture of Tibet's history sharing of experiences of the Tibetan elders is a must for a deeper understanding of our people's history, and culture by the younger Tibetan generation. As indicated by the very title of the book, Kirti Rinpoche not only has a good understanding of religion, culture and everyday life in Tibet before the invasion of the Chinese Communists, but he also witnessed the Communist invasion, the suppression of the Tibetan people, and the fight into exile. As opposed to what is happening in Tibet itself he has also witnessed the Tibetans in exile preserving their religion and culture in a foreign country, maintaining their national identity, and developing a democratic political system and society.
