Gendun Chopel (1903-1951) is a legendary figure in Tibet, not simply because he was believed to be the reincarnation of a famous Buddhist lama but also because the promising young monk eventually turned his back on monastic life and became a fierce critic of his country's religious conservatism, cultural isolationism, and reactionary government.
