Book Description
Tashi Wangdi devoted his life to serve His Holiness the Dalai Lama and the Tibetan people in their peaceful and nonviolent struggle for truth, justice and freedom. He paints a riveting account of his life, starting with his happy childhood in Tibet, which was shattered in 1959, following the Chinese Communist invasion. After fleeing with his family to India, he was among the initial group of 25 students to be educated at the first school His Holiness established, soon after arriving in India. He dedicated the next 40 years of his life to the Tibetan cause, rising to the top leadership ranks in the Tibetan government in exile, serving as the Minister of 6 different portfolios and also as His Holiness' Representative in New Delhi, New York and Brussels. His detailed and fascinating first-hand account covers many seminal moments in the history of the Tibetan people in exile, including the beginnings of a nascent Tibetan government in exile, its negotiations with the Chinese government, and His Holiness receiving international recognition with the awarding of the Nobel Peace Prize, the US Congressional Gold Medal, and Honorary Canadian Citizenship, among others.

Book Description
Only fifty years ago, Tibetan medicine, now seen in China as a vibrant aspect of Tibetan culture, was considered a feudal vestige to be eliminated through government-led social transformation. Medicine and Memory in Tibet examines medical revivalism on the geographic and sociopolitical margins both of China and of Tibet�s medical establishment in Lhasa, exploring the work of medical practitioners, or amchi, and of Medical Houses in the west-central region of Tsang. Due to difficult research access and the power of state institutions in the writing of history, the perspectives of more marginal amchi have been absent from most accounts of Tibetan medicine. Theresia Hofer breaks new ground both theoretically and ethnographically, in ways that would be impossible in today�s more restrictive political climate that severely limits access for researchers. She illuminates how medical practitioners safeguarded their professional heritage through great adversity and personal hardship.

Book Description
When Tibetan first became refugees, they never thought that they would remain refugees for more than half a century and for the unknow future; no one can be predict how long they still have to wait for their eventual return to Tibet. Looking at the current economic and political influence of China on the global stagae and the attitude of Chinese leaders regarding Tibet as reflected in the Sixth Work Forum on Tibet, it is unlikely that the return will come anytime soon. With brief analysis on the past trends and current status of the three pillars of the exile Tibetan extablishment, i.e. CTA, the Settlements and the Educational Centers, this book attempts to outline the potential futre challenges that the exile Tibetan establishment may face. In the process, attempts were also made to identify a set of recommendations of approaches, strategies and best practices to overcome or mitigate these anticipated risks which will contribute to a more vibrant and self-sustaining exile community till the exile Tibetan’s eventual return to Tibet.
