Over at Phayul, Larry Gerstein and Elliot Sperling write a lengthy, highly informative remembrance of His Holiness the Dalai Lama’s recently deceased eldest brother Taktser Rinpoche. Take a look.

Gerstein is Professor of Psychology and Director of the Center of Peace and Conflict Studies at Ball State University in Muncie, IN. He is also president of the International Tibet Independence Movement, which he co-founded with Taktser Rinpoche. Sperling, an expert on both Tibetan history and Sino-Tibetan relations, is Associate Professor of Central Eurasian Studies at Indiana University in Bloomington, where he worked with Rinpoche.
