Why the Dalai Lama Matters
JUST RELEASED This is Thurman's most recent book.
"No one has worked harder to bring Tibet, Tibetan Buddhism, and the special power of the Dalai Lama to American audiences than Robert Thurman. Long may he write and, as in this latest work, bring learning and spirit, great vigor, and close knowledge together."- Pico Iyer
"I could not put this book down. I found it powerfully inspiriting to imagine a positive alternative to the sixty-yearlong tragedy wrought by China in Tibet. As Robert Thurman shows us, by reversing its colonialist cultural genocide in Tibet (and so inspiring a reversal of the murderous policies of the regimes in Myanmar and Sudan), China could truly emerge as a responsible world power and take its place within the moral community of nations."- Mia Farrow, actor, activist, and humanitarian

We seem powerless to ameliorate conditions on the ground in the present crisis moment.
This peaceful movement, since it focuses the minds of many millions on the different sufferings of tormented and tormentor alike, is a powerful way to intervene. And it does not preclude anything else we can think of and do.
I hope everyone who reads this will join in this important effort.
--Robert Thurman, President, Tibet House US
