The Hidden Face of the Dalai-Lama - format MP3

A Nobel Peace Prize winner who embodies the martyrdom of Tibet, beneath the Chinese yoke. The very image of wisdom, who brings people together all over the world. Sacred and adored—who would dare question this living god who claims to carry within himself the hope of freedom for an entire people? Maxime Vivas dares to attack the myth. What if the Dalai Lama was nothing more than a theocrat, who fills the coffers of his palaces with gold while the Tibetans are mere slaves who are denied even an education? What if he is the good opportunist who is sometimes a friend, sometimes an enemy of the Chinese? What if he was puppet of the Americans and the CIA, rather than an advocate for the Tibetans he claims to defend? Based on the words of the Dalai Lama, on the testimonies of proselytes and on his own trip to Tibet, the author paints a vitriolic portrait of "His Holiness" and shows us that all is not so Zen in the kingdom of the Buddha. Maxime Vivas is a journalist and co-administrator of the alternative information website legrandsoir.info. He also hosts a cultural program on several radio stations and was a literary advisor for ATTAC-France. This audiobook is read by a synthesized voice.
