In 1956, after his escape from Tibet, the 14th Dalai Lama published his autogiography My Land and My People, well illustrated with photographs of himself and his family. They were five brothers and three sisters. I borrowed the book from the Calgary Public Library in the 1970s but by 2000 this books has disappeared from the library shelves. At one point in the 1970s the Calgary Herald reported one of the Dalai Lama's brothers missing in China
In 1979 Mary Craig published a loving, adoring book of the Dalai Lama, illustrated by many newer photographs showing four brothers and three sisters.
I lined up the photos from the two books and drew a line through the iris of their eyes and one through their lips. To my astonishment, no matter how I might correlate, I ended up with the Dalai Lama in Mary Craig's book being a smaller person, smaller body and smaller head, than he has been in his early published autobiography My land and My People.
I posted these images and would be curious what you make of it? This is, after all a man who was handed the Nobel Peace Prize (I ca't figure why) and has been twice welcomed to the White House by president Obama.
