Dalai Lama Reflects on Tibet and China in New Book

Dalai Lama’s upcoming book, Voice for the Voiceless, details his decades-long efforts to preserve Tibetan culture and secure autonomy under Chinese rule, writes a The New York Times' report. Set for release on March 11, it recounts his negotiations with leaders like Mao Zedong and Xi Jinping and his shift from seeking independence to advocating cultural autonomy. The 88-year-old reflects on leading Tibet since age 16, his nonviolent resistance philosophy, and concerns over China’s repression. The book also addresses his succession and aims to influence global and Chinese readers despite likely bans in China.
