Description
As Dr Choedrak graphically describes his impoverished early years as a child monk and his progress as a student doctor in Lhasa an entire culture and the unique therapeutic practices of Tibetan medicine are vividly brought to life.
Yet it is Dr Cheodrak's account of the atrocities committed by the Chinese against the Tibetan people that ultimately marks this memoir as an exceptional testimony of forbearance and hope.For despite the incredible cruelty and squalor inflicted upon him and his fellow prisoners Choedrak used his skill and compassion to attend to his torturers.With unbelievable courage he also refused to abandon his Buddhist faith and the beliefs to which he has devoted his life.
Through his words as collected by Gilles Van Grasdorff and a preface written by His Holiness the Dalai Lama Tenzin Choedrak's The Rainbow Palace is a profound and moving testament to the power of love and faith.
