Doctor from Lhasa

More about the book

An autobiographical narrative by a Tibetan doctor, this book continues the author's story from "The Third Eye." It recounts his journey from Lhasa, where he leaves his homeland and teachers to pursue further studies in medicine and surgery in China. The narrative contrasts the dramatic horrors of the Sino-Japanese War with lighter passages reflecting on his childhood memories of Tibet. Rich in fascinating details about both his native land and China, the book expands on the author's message regarding the meaning of human existence.
