The Dance of 17 Lives

Genre: Buddhism
Author: Mick Brown

I read this book to try and get an understand of who the Karmapa was and how he fits into Tibetan Buddhism. For that purpose, it is useful. It is not a spiritual book, does not cover the teachings. It is partly just the story of the recognition of a reincarnated Buddhist master and his eventual escape from China. The rest is politics and the author's personality.
