The Path to freedom: Freedom in Exile and ancient wisdom

by Dalai Lama

The Path to Freedom is two books rolled into one.

The first book, Freedom in Exile, is the autobiography of the current Dalai Lama. Through this, we learn of how the Dalai Lama was selected as a small child as the reincarnation of his predecessor, how he was prepared for the responsibilities he had inherited and how, after being exiled to India in his teens he led his people through the impossibly difficult times under the control of communist China.

The second book, Ancient Wisdom, Modern World is a spiritual guide that promotes well-being through kindness, compassion and our individual responsibilities to help reduce human suffering in order to achieve happiness and inner peace.
