More on His Holiness the Dalai Lama

I've got a couple more good items about His Holiness the Dalai Lama and his struggle for Tibetan autonomy to share with you.

First, our friend Katherine sends along this NPR interview with Pico Iyer, author of the new book The Open Road: The Global Journey of the Fourteenth Dalai Lama.

Journalist Pico Iyer has a long history meeting with the Dalai Lama, the Tibetan spiritual leader living in exile in India. Iyer joins Fresh Air to discuss how the fourteenth Dalai Lama is responding to the current Tibetan uprising and protest against Chinese rule.

Second, The Interdependent points us to the below trailer for The Unwinking Gaze, a new documentary about His Holiness.
