Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nobel Peace Prize winner, the Dalai Lama embodies the martyrdom of a Tibet subjected to Chinese rule. A symbol of wisdom, it is adored and even sacred in the West. Therefore, who would question this living god who claims to carry with him the hope of freedom of an entire people? Maxime Vivas dares to tackle the myth: what if the Dalai Lama was a theocrat who filled the coffers of his palaces with gold while the Tibetans were only serfs who were denied any education? What if he played into the hands of the Americans and the CIA more than that of the Tibetans he claims to defend? What if he had been aware for many years of the sexual assaults, rapes and acts of pedophilia, which were recently revealed in his religious movement? Based on the words of the Dalai Lama, on the testimonies of proselytes as well as on confidential documents, the author paints a vitriolic portrait of "His Holiness" and shows us that everything is not so zen in the kingdom of Buddha. Maxime Vivas, former literary referent for ATTAC, is a novelist (Roger Vailland Prize 1997) and essayist. It is translated into thirteen languages
