Dalai Lama (Activist)

Dalai Lama is specifically written to meet the needs of adolescents and adults who are reluctant readers. The photographs, maps, and illustrations reflect the text, making the words easy to decode. This high-interest, low-vocabulary is ideal for English as a Second Language or adult basic education students.





The Dalai Lama is the spiritual and political leader of the Tibetan people. His Holiness often says, I am just a simple Buddhist monk-no more, no less.
