He has primarily written and spoken on aspects of Buddhism. It's what you don't hear on news clips. I've not read a lot of his books, but the ones I've read were excellent--incredible intellectual knowledge side-by-side with profound inner experience and practice. He basically has the knowledge not only of a Geshe (which would be like 9-12 years of college), but when he ordained his first American monk, a young Harvard grad named Robert Thurman, he insisted Bob teach him everything he learned at Harvard--so we have the best of the east and the west. And of course his personal tutors and gurus were some of the highest enlightened beings on the planet. Tibet has always been part of this, as he is the people's representative of a government in exile.
