About the book:

Little Novice 《小沙弥》
Born in a Tibetan family and growing up in a Tibetan monastery, the author turns his early life experiences into a semi-autobiography and exposes readers to Tibet's mysterious past half a century ago: Buddhist wisdom, local legendary stories, poems of troubadours ... Rich details based on real-life experiences create an illusion that these stories are not fictions but total fresh memories taken down by the author from his legendary and extraordinary life. Being the fi rst on the growth of Tibetan religious novices, this book invites us to take a look at Tibetan Buddhism from a cultural perspective and give a philosophical refl ection on everyday life.
