On Wednesday, October 17, 2007 the Dalai Lama will be awarded the Congressional Gold Medal by the US Government at 1:00PM in the Capitol Rotunda. Many people are asking, “Who’s the Dalai Lama anyway?” or “Why is our government honoring him? I address a number of these questions in a chapter entitled, “The Dalai Lama and Tibetan Buddhism” included in Westmont Professor Ronald Enroth’s excellent book, A Guide to New Religious Movements published by InterVarsity Press.  Now if you can’t run to your Christian bookstore tonight to buy it, or if they don’t have it in stock, and you’re on a reporters deadline, you’re in luck, but you’ve got to promise me one thing–come on now. Promise. If you are blessed by the information, buy the book.  You can access the pdf online through our website at
