The Day the Last Monastery in Shangri-La Fell

Buddha’s Not Smiling is the anatomy of a crisis. Rumtek was not in China, and its attackers were not Communist troops. It was Tibetan lamas themselves who led the siege.

“Curren’s examination of the dispute is unsullied by bias, and his concern – the health of Tibetan Buddhism – feels genuine…” –Kirkus

…untangles a sordid tale of hypocrisy, bribery, intimidation, and violence…an eye opener for Buddhists and non-Buddhists alike. –Michael Parenti, author of The Culture Struggle and The Assasination of Julius Caesar

A must-read for any student of this unfortunate business. –Alex Shoumatoff, author and publisher
