The Hidden Face of the Dalai-Lama

A Nobel Peace Prize winner who embodies the martyrdom of Tibet, beneath the
Chinese yoke. The very image of wisdom, who brings people together all over
the world. Sacred and adored—who would dare question this living god who
claims to carry within himself the hope of freedom for an entire people?
Maxime Vivas dares to attack the myth. What if the Dalai Lama was nothing more
than a theocrat, who fills the coffers of his palaces with gold while the
Tibetans are mere slaves who are denied even an education? What if he is the
good opportunist who is sometimes a friend, sometimes an enemy of the Chinese?
What if he was puppet of the Americans and the CIA, rather than an advocate
for the Tibetans he claims to defend? Based on the words of the Dalai Lama, on
the testimonies of proselytes and on his own trip to Tibet, the author paints
a vitriolic portrait of "His Holiness" and shows us that all is not so Zen in
the kingdom of the Buddha. Maxime Vivas is a journalist and co-administrator
of the alternative information website legrandsoir.info. He also hosts a
cultural program on several radio stations and was a literary advisor for
ATTAC-France. This audiobook is read by a synthesized voice.
