Dalai Lama

This biography of the Dalai Lama is a high-interest, low-vocabulary book for adolescents and adults with limited literacy skills. The Dalai Lamal (1935- ) is the spiritual and political leader of the Tibetan people. After China took control of Tibet in 1951, the Dalai Lama was forced to flee to India, where he lives in exile but continues to fight for the freedom and rights of his people with the only weapons he believes in--truth, justice, and courage.
