Synopsis:

The autobiography of the mother of one of the world's most revered spiritual leaders and an intimate portrait of his beginnings....

On the birth of His Holiness: "He was different from my other children right from the start. He was a somber child who liked to stay indoors by himself. He was always packing his clothes and his little belongings. When I would ask what he was doing, he would reply that he was packing to go to Lhasa, and that he would take all of us with him."
