About this Item
Black and white illustrations, xvi + 303pp, spine a trifle creased, a good paperback copy. "When a 14-year-old refugee crossed the Himalayas and arrived in India, China lost its best hope of one day controlling the Tibetan people. It was 5 January 2000 and the boy was the 17th Karmapa - Ogyen Trinley Dorje - the only incarnate lama to be recognised by both the Dalai Lama and China's communist government. Instead of gaining freedom, this young spiritual leader in an ancient line of Tibetan Buddhism became embroiled in Sino-Indian politics and the victim of a violent controversy that still rages today." - Publisher's description.

Postage is extra at cost. We are pleased to accept Visa, Mastercard, American Express and Paypal.
The shipping prices quoted on ABEBooks reflect what we have found to be the "average book". Of course in reality there are many books that do not weigh what an "average book" weighs so there are times when we need to requote shipping, just as there are times when we are in position to refund some of the shipping. Please rest assured we try to get your order to you for a reasonable price, as quickly and as well packed (we carefully pack all of our parcels in book boxes) as possible.
