Title: In their own words
Description: "These are the true stories of nine Buddhist monks - of life in Tibet under Communist rule, their amazing and often miraculous journey across the vast mountain range of the Himalayas to freedom and exile in India, of the day-to-day work and study at the Drepung Gomang Monastery, and their eye-opening views of American culture. Most importantly, this book illustrates the resilience of the human spirit under the most trying circumstances powered by faith, compassion, hope and love."--BOOK JACKET
