Book Reviews of The Dance of 17 Lives: The Incredible True Story of Tibet's 17th Karmapa
Book Review: An informative window into Tibetan Buddhism
Summary: 4 Stars
I'm willing, after reading the other reviews, to take this book with "a grain of salt". However, I suspect that in a number of ways, it accurately reflects many qualities of Tibetan Buddhist political, social and spiritual process, and as so has been an fascinating introduction for me into cultural realities which are not obvious when dipping one's toe into Western basic Buddhist trainings. I enjoyed and appreciated the book and was willing to grasp the complex cast of characters in order to get this rough education.
