Fire Under The Snow: True Story of a Tibetan Monk (Panther)
Contents:
And yet the book doesn't dwell on the terrors - it is a simple and quietly related testament of a man who has suffered and suffered, but never surrendered and never lost hope. For Kindle users - disappointingly, the Kindle edition does not include the many illustrations that are listed as included in the hardcopy version.
One person found this helpful. A beautiful, painful, and exquisite journey of a man with the deepest of souls. I would highly recommend this book. Palden Gyatso relates his fascinating story of his life, as a Tibetan monk and his 33 years in a hellish Chinese Communist prison, where he was, starved, subjected to horrific tortures, leading to irreversible physical damage and barbaric reeducation classes. Born in the Tibetan village of Panam in he entered the Gadong monastery at the age of ten, and during the Chinese invasion of Tibet he was fully ordained as a monk.
The Autobiography of a Tibetan Monk
Arrested by the Chinese, along with thousands of monks and nuns,during his hellish incarceration from to , he saw the destruction by the Chinese Communists of the Tibetan people and their culture and religion. Monasteries were destroyed, books burned and thousands of Tibetans arrested and executed by the Commuinist Chinese determined to destroy everything of Tibetan identity and culture, and replace it with Chinese Communism. Of the group of monks Palden was ordained with he was the only one that survived. By the time Palden was arrested the Chinese had woven a strangling web around Tibet, and the hapless Tibetan people could do nothing about it.
Palden describes the barbarous "struggle sessions" in which thousands were murdered or beaten to death, the Chinese propaganda that turned reality inside out, claming they were "freeing"' the Tibetan people from "Feudalism" and forcing them to abandon " the four olds "- their culture, customs, habits and thoughts.
Ii is horrific to read of the Communist Chinese prison methods. On a brief leave, during , shortly before being re arrested, Palden describes the sight of thousands of Tibetan children starving to death as a result of the famine deliberately created by the Chinese to subjugate the Tibetan people, Many children from the wrong "class backgrounds" were deliberately starved to death by the Communist authorities. Thousands of arrested nuns were stripped, humiliated and often raped by the Chinese Communists.
China and it's apologists claim that China introduced progress to Tibet and freed it's people from "feudalism".
It does not matter to them that the Tibetan people did not want any part of Communist 'progress' and were happy with the life they lived before the Chinese invasion and genocide. After his release in , Palden went into exile and swore to bear testament to the crimes of Communist China against the Tibetan people. This book is a story about endurance and perseverance, Pladen Gyatso wrote about his 32 years in Chinese prisions, what is also interesting about this book is to try and understand why and how the chinese communist government gradually invaded Tibet until the unleashed a wave of represion and murder.
If we go into the mind of the gatekeeper we will find fanatism and brainwashing as a means to control the citizens. This is a good book, maybe not excelent but still worth your money, I especially liked that the author went into life in Tibet before the chinese invation, his family and society in general, also the meaning of the Dalai Lama to them.
