The Dalai Lama & American Presidents

SKU FDR94148
This book provides an unprecedented, insightful, and beautiful chronicle of the diplomatic and personal relationship between the Dalai Lama and American Presidents. Mr. Nyandak’s writing is clear, objective, and engaging. The extensive archival material consists of letters from the Dalai Lama to every U.S. President since President Franklin D. Roosevelt, expressing gratitude and good will, offering prayers for the welfare of all living beings, and requesting support from the U.S. on behalf of Tibet and its people. Responses from the U.S. Presidents were invariably respectful and empathetic. This book is a fulfillment of Mr. Nyandak’s long-held dream and passion to write about the historic relationship between the Dalai Lama and U.S. Presidents that he had witnessed firsthand during his service as Representative of the 14th Dalai Lama to North America. Through his distinctive and intimate reflections, Mr. Nyandak has successfully illuminated a journey that is “grounded in faith, shaped by diplomacy, and carried forward through genuine friendship.” This is partly an attractive photobook full of poignant images that reveal the deep sincerity, mutual respect, and shared joy of the subjects. 180 Pages.
