This story has been told before in many books, but less well known is the story of his family, catapulted into fame, and the destiny of each of its members. The Dalai Lama - the spiritual and temporal head of Tibet - is 'discovered' by high-ranking Buddhist monks using ancient and arance methods of divination.

As with the Dalai Lama's own story, and that of his family, this is an epic tale of triumph in adversity.
