This new original biography in graphic novel form, sensitively researched and written by Tom Taylor and stunningly illustrated by Matyaš Namai, with the approval of the Office of His Holiness, tells the inspiring story of Tenzin Gyatso, born to be the 14th Dalai Lama, and offers remarkable insights into the dramatic events of his life and times, together with profound meditations on the path to inner peace and harmony within the world.
