Now, in this insightful, impassioned book, Iyer captures the paradoxes the Dalai Lama embodies: he is a religious leader who warns against being needlessly distracted by religion; a Tibetan head of state who suggests that exile from Tibet can be an opportunity; an incarnation of a Tibetan god who champions globalism and technology.Moving from Dharamsala, India, to Lhasa, Tibet, to venues in the West-where the Dalai Lama's pragmatism, rigour and scholarship are sometimes lost on an audience yearning for mystical visions-The Open Road illuminates the hidden life, the transforming ideas and the daily challenges of a global icon.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"PRH India Local Print","offers":[{"title":"Misc","offer_id":46122607083671,"sku":"9780143064565","price":260.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780143064565.webp?v=1769298615","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/the-open-road-the-global-journey-of-the-fourteenth-dalai-lama-9780143064565","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
