Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Every year hundreds of Tibetans flee from Tibet. For many of them, getting to see the Tibetan spiritual leader, the Dalai Lama, or the opportunity to study under the guidance of the Tibetan spiritual leader is their lifelong dream. For that they risk their lives by crossing the Himalayan Mountains for weeks, and sometimes for months. As Tendar Tsering dedicates his book to Kelsang Namtso, who died in an open fire by the Chinese border patrol in 2006, many Tibetans feeling Tibet often become victims of the Chinese border patrol, or die in anonymity of frostbite or hunger during this perilous journey. Tendar Tsering is one of them. At the mere age of twelve, he embarked on a difficult decision to leave his family in Tibet and cross the Himalayan Mountains to study in India. This is the story of his life thereafter.
