You are warmly invited to join us at Tibet House US for the official launch of The Magical Adventures of the Sixth Dalai Lama: His Life and Loves, a luminous new novel by Annie Bien and Robert A.F. Thurman, founder of Tibet House US.

This very special evening will bring the spirit of the book alive through a reading of selected passages, offering a glimpse into the poetry, passion, and profound wisdom of Tsangyang Gyatso, the Sixth Dalai Lama. The authors will share stories about their creative process and the historical and spiritual sources that inspired this work, weaving together their insights with the life and verses of one of Tibet’s most beloved figures.

Guests will also have the opportunity to meet and greet the authors in person, purchase a copy of the book, and have it signed. The evening promises to be not only a celebration of the book’s release, but also a chance to gather, reflect on its themes of love, politics, and spiritual awakening, and connect with two voices who have brought this story to life.

Books will be available for purchase at the event, or you may preorder your copy here.

Come celebrate the publication of this remarkable novel and be among the first to share in its magic.
