小沙彌（英文）

　　半個世紀前的西藏有著怎樣的神秘往事？　轉世活佛有著怎樣不尋常的艱難經歷？　六百多年前，藏傳佛教格魯派創(chuàng)始人宗喀巴大師創(chuàng)造了什么樣的神奇？六百年后，他的法體又遭遇了什么樣的劫難？　佛法故事、民間傳說、藝人說唱……　何為活佛，何為馬幫，何為藏藥，何為唐卡，何為藏族人心中對死的理解……　Half a century ago， a young Tibetan shepherd is revealed to be a living Buddha and is plunged into a world of sky burials and scripture learning， boyish pranks and sublime miracles. 600 years ago， a revolutionary teacher performs miracles and creates whole new school of Buddhism. During the Cultural Revolution， as temples and relics are smashed to pieces about them， a few brave faithful risk their lives to protect the Buddhist legacy.　A mix of Buddhist legends， folk stories and modern reportage， Little Novice provides new insight into the turbulent and intriguing history of Buddhism in Tibet.
