In the remote and windswept Tibetan highlands, a young boy named Lhamo Thondup was born to a simple farmer and his wife. Little did they know that this child would one day become the Dalai Lama, the spiritual leader of Tibet and one of the most revered figures in the world.

In her deeply moving and inspiring memoir, Dalai Lama, My Son, Jetsun Pema, the Dalai Lama's mother, shares her personal journey of raising and guiding her son. From his early childhood, when he displayed an extraordinary intelligence and compassion, to his recognition as the reincarnation of the Dalai Lama at the age of two, to his life in exile in India, Jetsun Pema provides a unique and intimate glimpse into the life of a remarkable man.

Jetsun Pema's story is not only a fascinating account of the Dalai Lama's life, but also a profound exploration of the nature of parenting, spirituality, and the search for the true self. With honesty and vulnerability, she shares the challenges and joys of raising a child who was destined for greatness, and the lessons she learned about love, compassion, and the importance of following one's own path.

Dalai Lama, My Son is a must-read for anyone interested in the life of the Dalai Lama, the history of Tibet, or the nature of spirituality. It is a heartwarming and inspiring story that will leave you with a renewed sense of hope and possibility.
