Mike Dunham, Author of Buddha's Warrior
March 10, 2006

The author of the book Buddha's Warrior came to Chicago to talk about his book to local colleges and Universities. Despite his busy schedule he gave a talk to the Tibetan community at our center on March 10, 2006 after the prostest at 6.00 p.m. His book was nominated for the Pullitzer Prize. Thanks to everyone of you joined us and received a deeper knowledge about Tibet despite our busy lives. There was a Q & A at the end of his presentation. Below please find one of many reviews of the book to give you an idea about the subject.

Dunham is our guide to this far-flung place known as Tibet and the story of the CIA backed Tibetan Freedom Fighters who rose up against the Chinese to protect this precious nation. It reads like a suspense novel taking the reader on an unsettling and beautiful trip through the last sixty years. I couldn't put the book down and want to share it with all my friends. Dunham begins the book asking the question of who these brave men were who helped the Dalai Lama escape Tibet and the persecution of the Chinese. The reader has the pleasure of learning the answer to this question and more on an oddly beautiful journey into men's hearts & souls.
