China -- which says Tibet is an integral part of the country -- has responded by saying the Dalai Lama “has no right to represent the Tibetan people”.
The book, “Voice for the Voiceless”, describes the Dalai Lama dealing with successive leaders of the People's Republic of China on behalf of Tibet and its people.
“One clear lesson we know from history is this: If you keep people permanently unhappy, you cannot have a stable society.”
The Dalai Lama's lineage, status and title “have been determined by the central government for hundreds of years”, spokeswoman Mao Ning told reporters.
'Persistent efforts'
Celebrating his 90th birthday in July, the Dalai Lama is among a fading few who can remember what their homeland was like before the failed 1959 uprising.
“Tibetans have spent nearly 75 years fighting for freedom,“ he wrote in the Washington Post this month, ahead of the book’s publication.
Talks between Beijing and Tibetan leaders have been frozen since 2010.
“From a 19-year-old negotiating with Chairman Mao at the height of his powers in Beijing to my recent attempts to communicate with President Xi Jinping, I convey in this book the sincerity of our efforts.
The Dalai Lama stepped down as his people's political head in 2011, passing the baton of secular power to a government chosen democratically by about 130,000 Tibetans around the world.
China calls the India-based Tibetan administration a “puppet government”.
“One thing is for sure: no totalitarian regime, whether headed by an individual or a party, can last forever, because they abuse the very people they claim to speak for,“ he adds.
