Book Reviews of The Autobiography of a Tibetan Monk
Book Review: Wonderful life-affirming chronicle.
Summary: 5 Stars
The Autobiography is a wonderful life-affirming chronicle of one man's suffering for his spiritual belief. Excellently written and very reminiscent of the equally wonderful "THE Autobiography of Jesus of Nazareth and the Missing Years" by Richard G. Patton. Both these book have extraodinary parallels, with both men questioning their fundamental beliefs, when faced with physical extinction. Palden Gyatso's book is set in modern times but rings of antiquety, Patton's inspired offering is 2000 years old - yet you can virtually feel Jesus breath down the back of your neck! Both these books are essential reading, since they portray people faced with ultimate spiritual dilemmas - and oddly - both set against the background of the Himalayas. Highly recommended
