Synopsis
In A Hundred Thousand White Stones , Kunsang Dolma tells the story of her life as a Tibetan refugee in words from her heart. She tells the real story, the brutally honest story of her experiences, recounting harsh realities with candor and a typically Tibetan eye for humor in every tragedy. From her origins in Tibet, the story follows Kunsang across the Himalayan mountains into India, then to the United States with her American husband. Despite the often difficult circumstances of her life in Tibet, life in exile leaves Kunsang with a sense of loss and regret. The joys of discovering political freedom and improved material conditions compete with a feeling of emptiness from being disconnected from her family and culture. She finds to her own surprise that she felt happier in Tibet than anywhere else, and longs to be reunited with her family. Following twelve years apart from her family, Kunsang receives a visa for a temporary visit back to Tibet. As if she has returned from the dead, her reunion with family brings up intense emotions as well as the scrutiny of Chinese plain-clothes police. During the visit, a exercise prescribed by a lama for one of her brothers brings together the whole family for the collection of one hundred thousand white stones. Collecting the stones helps to resolve her brother's emotional turmoil and alienation from the family, mirroring Kunsang's own journey. At the end of the visit, the prospect of leaving her family behind again put Kunsang in a difficult dilemma., A Hundred Thousand White Stones is the fearlessly told, unvarnished story of life as a Tibetan woman and refugee. Kunsang Dolma writes from her heart of the hardship and struggle she experienced as a girl in Tibet, as a woman in India, and as an immigrant refugee in America. Yet despite the many moments of sadness her story contains, she manages to find hope and levity in her memory of even the worst of circumstances. A Hundred Thousand White Stones offers an honest, first-person assessment of what is gained in pursuing life in the developed world, and what is lost., A Hundred Thousand White Stones is one young Tibetan woman's fearlessly told story of longing and change. Kunsang Dolma writes with unvarnished candor of the hardships she experienced as a girl in Tibet, violations as a refugee nun in India, and struggles as an immigrant and new mother in America. Yet even in tribulation, she finds levity and never descends to self-pity. We watch in wonder as her unlikely choices and remarkable persistence bring her into ever-widening circles, finding love and a family in the process, and finally bringing her back to her childhood home. A Hundred Thousand White Stones offers an honest assessment of what is gained in pursuing life in the developed world and what is lost.
