El Dalai Lama

Sinopsis del Libro

The first authorized biography of the Dalai Lama - an alternately inspiring and shocking story - of an acclaimed Tibetan scholar, with privileged access to the subject of his book. The Dalai Lama's message of peace and compassion resonates with people of all faiths and those of no faith. However, due to all his fame around the world, he is often evasive. Alexander Norman - an acclaimed Oxford-trained scholar of Tibetan history - offers the definitive biography, unique and unforgettable. The Dalai Lama recounts an incredible odyssey from a remote Tibetan village to his global position as spiritual and political leader of one of the deepest and most complex cultural traditions in the world. Norman reveals that although the Dalai Lama has never been comfortable with his political situation, he has been a shrewd player - for a time backed by the CIA - that has moved amid widespread violence, including standing at the center of a dangerous schism in Buddhism. However, even more surprising than the action politics -Norman convinces us-, is the extraordinary spiritual practice of the Dalai Lama, based on magic, revelation, and prophecy, the details of which are illuminated for the first time in this book. A revealing life story of one of our most radical, charismatic and beloved world leaders of our epoch.

Lawrence Nesbitt's six years of extensive research has revealed a single psychological key that makes sense of the anomalies and contradictions. He has uncovered a powerful and nearly unique mindset that directed almost all of Reagan's conduct then and causes the confusion now. This unusual belief also...

«Durante cincuenta y seis años me he percibido a mi mismo como musulmán y, en torno a mí, los demás me han identificado como un musulmán. A los cincuenta y seis años he renacido como cristiano anulando la identidad islámica de la que he renegado consciente y voluntariamente. Dentro y fuera de mí todo cambiará. Nada será ya como antes». En la noche del 22 de marzo de 2008, durante la liturgia pascual celebrada por el papa Benedicto XVI en la Basílica de San Pedro, Magdi Allam recibió por manos del pontífice los sacramentos de la iniciación cristiana y se convirtió en Magdi...
