Your Satisfaction is Guaranteed:
Lopez finds that even as Tibet's romance is invoked by exiled lamas, it ultimately imprisons those who seek the goal of Tibetan independence from Chinese occupation.
Review:
"In this fine scholarly work, Lopez warns his readers away from romanticized notions of Tibet, which ultimately harm that beleaguered nation's prospects for independence."
Kirkus, 03/15/1998
Review:"[As Lopez] shows in his brilliant and timely new study...Western enthusiasts have always tried to imprison Tibet in fantasies of their own creation....Lopez's point is that Tibetan Buddhism deserves recognition for what it really is: a complex religion that merits understanding on its own terms."
