From AudioFile

Victor Chan, a rather callow reporter and seeker, develops a long-term relationship with the Dalai Lama. In his humble and fumbling way, Chan brings us close to the Dalai Lama's entourage and inner circle. Over the years, as Chan matures, we encounter the Dalai Lama's simplicity, wisdom, and continual challenges, voiced ably and sensitively by Shishir Kurup, whose slight Indian accent adds a sense of place to the narration. Predictably, the seeker, Chan, finds deeper meaning and answers for all of us in his journey with His Holiness, one that is easy to absorb in this appealing audiobook.
