Buddha's Not Smiling, By Erik D. Curren.
The Day the Last Monastery in Shangri-La Fell - Buddha's Not Smiling is the anatomy of a crisis. On August 2, 1993, Rumtek monastery was attacked. Its monks were expelled and the cloister was given to a lama appointed by the Chinese government. But Rumtek was not in China, and its attackers were not Communist troops.
