Tashi Dolma was 18 when the Chinese armies occupied her town Shigatse in 1995. Having witnessed the violation of the local monastery and the kidnap of the monks, she fled to Lhassa, and then from Himalayas to Nepal. Each step in this spiritual and geographical journey gives Claude Levenson the opportunity to illustrate some aspects of the Tibetan traditions, weakened by Beijing’s power.
