Book Description
In My Tibetan Chldhood, Naktsang Nulo recalls his life in Tibet's Amdo region during the 1950s. From the perspective of himself at age ten, he describes his upbringing as a nomad on Tibet's eastern plateau. He depicts pilgrimages to monasteries, including a 1500-mile horseback expedition his family made to and from Lhasa. A year or so later, they attempted that same journey as they fled from advancing Chinese troops. Naktsang's father joined and was killed in the little-known 1958 Amdo rebellion against the Chinese People’s Liberation Army, the armed branch of the Chinese Communist Party. During the next year, the author and his brother were imprisoned in a camp where, after the onset of famine, very few children survived. The real significance of this episodic narrative is the way it shows, through the eyes of a child, the suppressed histories of China's invasion of Tibet. The author's matter-of-fact accounts cast the atrocities that he relays in stark relief. Remarkably, Naktsang lived to tell his tale. His book was published in 2007 in China, where it was a bestseller before the Chinese government banned it in 2010. It is the most reprinted modern Tibetan literary work. This translation makes a fascinating if painful period of modern Tibetan history accessible in English.

In our second story, The Story Of The Donkey And The Rock which is a Black Tent Story. A man was walking up a steep hill, trading oil from house to house. Halfway up he was tired and sat down to rest. He placed the jar of oil on a rock beside him. At the same time another man was driving his donkey down the same hill. As the donkey passed, part of the load on the donkey?s back knocked over and broke the jar of oil and the oil trader was understandably annoyed. Well, what happened? Did the pair agree it was an accident and agree to go their own ways or did something else happen?

Book Description
As many would posit that a distorted historical account can represent its period and witness the historical events. This concise historical account is about the catastrophe of a race amidst tremendous sufferings and difficulties. This book provides a vivid account of hundreds and thousands of Tibetans in the alien land, left with only the earth and the sky as the familiar things, and how every Tibetan in their own capacity have courageously stood from where they had fallen. The book also deals considerably with some crucial official responsibilities the author has taken, ranging from communicator to foreign aid agencies, establishment of new settlement, security to His Holiness the Dalai Lama and His representative, selection and sending of Tibetans to the west and initiate the concept of a reserve fund. The author has also worked as Election Commissioner and Chairman of Public Service Commission. His life reflects vividly the transformation and progress of exile democracy. I sincerely request people to read his enriching personal life account of an important figure in the recent Tibetan history. Ngedon Gyatso
