Tibet: Turning the Wheel of Life

---

Long shrouded in mystery, Tibet is a hidden land almost completely surrounded by the mountains of central Asia. Known for its tolerant and resilient people, Tibet has come to be synonymous with spirituality; religion is almost omnipresent. It seems that the numerous hardships endured by the Tibetans - oppressive authorities, severe altitude, harsh climate - have forced many to focus on the next life, rather than the present.
Today, still under Chinese occupation, Tibet struggles to regain its independent status. This illuminating account by cultural anthropologist Françoise Pommaret examines the turbulent and painful history of this beautiful country.
