Publishers Description: This is an extraordinary life story of Chope Paljor Tsering. The Buddha's teachings on impermanence are said to be the best remedy for all difficulties, suffering and loss, and in this moving biography Chope reflects on these lessons and the transitory nature of life. Born to a Tibetan nomad family in 1948, he experienced the invasion and occupation of his country by the Chinese Maoist army. In 1959 the Dalai Lama escaped into exile in India, and Chope's family were among the many thousands who tried to follow him. Pursued by the Red Army, in fear of their lives, they began a year-long journey by foot to reach the Himalayan passes. They were among the first Tibetan refugees to arrive in Mustang, Nepal. Having left behind the only world he knew, Chope was about to suffer even greater loss, but he would also begin to learn what freedom truly is, and how it can be won.
