The Rainbow Palace by Tenzin Choedrak
This is a powerful and moving autobiography. Tenzin Choedrak recounts his childhood in Tibet, his becoming a physician, before telling of the Chinese invasion of Tibet and his time in prison under the Chinese regime.
At times the book is extremely harrowing, as he relates the destruction of Tibet and his and other prisoners torture in prison.

At times the book is extremely harrowing, as he relates the destruction of Tibet and his and other prisoners torture in prison.
However the book is also about hope and faith, and his eventual escape to India, once again taking up his place as personal physician to His Holiness the Dalai Lama.
Read this book.
