His Holiness the Dalai Lama
Biography
His Holiness the Dalai Lama has long stood as one of the world's foremost advocators of peace. Born in 1935, in northeastern Tibet, he is the head of state and spiritual leader of the Tibetan people. His Holiness was recognized at the age of two, in accordance with Tibetan tradition, as the reincarnation of his predecessor the 13th Dalai Lama, and thus an incarnation of Avalokitesvara, the Buddha of Compassion. At age 16, His Holiness was called upon to assume full political power as Head of State and Government when Tibet was threatened by the might of China. His efforts to bring about a peaceful resolution to the Sino-Tibetan conflict were thwarted and the resistance movement in Tibet was finally crushed by the Chinese army in 1959. Since then, some 80,000 refugees have followed The Dalai Lama into exile. Today His Holiness resides in Dharamsala India, the current seat of the Tibetan Government In Exile. What makes the Dalai Lama unique has been his embrace of the west. As a scholar-practitioner, he has made numerous trips over the last 30 years to different countries, spreading his message of peace. He has met with various political and religious leaders, including U.S. presidents, Pope John Paul II, and representatives of other world religions and faiths. In recent years the world has been blessed with a series of books written by the Dalai Lama, each focusing on various strands of faith-based living and how to practice a happier more harmonious life. The Dalai Lama's embrace of the world and continuous search for peaceful understanding between nations have served as an inspiration for generations.
