Last year, the Dalai Lama himself awarded a "Truth of Light" award to the Hergé Foundation, which runs the late author's estate, as a gesture of thanks to "significant contributions to the public understanding of Tibet" through the book, written a year after the Dalai Lama was driven into exile by the Chinese government...
