Lord of the Dance is the autobiography of the Lama Chag'dud Tulku. The title refers to Chag'dud Tulku's given name, Gargyi Wangkhyung, "Powerful Lord of the Dance.".

The story begins in Tibet before the Chinese invasion and continues through his escape from Tibet and eventual resettlement in the United States. It gives a clear picture of what life in Tibet was like when the author was a child, and how a child tulku is raised and educated.
