Book excerpt: When I was arrested by the Chinese military for launching a historic Tibetan Freedom protest, I knew every trial and lesson had been worth it--even if it meant facing a life in prison.After a childhood infused with esoteric Buddhist teachings, I was forged into a global activist through years of witnessing and collaborating in the dissent of women on the front lines of war. From villages in Nepal, to refugee camps in The Democratic Republic of Congo, to the streets of Bogota, Colombia, my initiation into human rights activism was raw and transformative. The bravery of those women bolstered me in my darkest hours of interrogation and torture by the Chinese Police, and it guides me now to share my true story--no matter the repercussions. This is not a tale the Chinese government wants told.During my years working in war zones, I often wondered if I'd have the courage to stand up to tyranny, to lay my life on the line to confront undeniable persecution.In 2007--on the slopes of Mt. Everest--I found out.Take a literary journey with me as I reveal the bumpy road I took to becoming my bravest self--learning to leverage a life of advantage, find a place for my own joy, and cultivate the courage needed to play a distinct role in history.
