The Dalai Lama, born Tenzin Gyatso, is a globally revered spiritual leader and the 14th in the lineage of Dalai Lamas, a title bestowed upon him in the Gelug school of Tibetan Buddhism. Born in the small village of Taktser, China, in 1935, the Dalai Lama was recognized at the age of two as the reincarnation of his predecessor and assumed political power at just 15 years old. Known for his advocacy of Buddhism and the rights of the Tibetan people, the Dalai Lama has become a symbol of peace and compassion worldwide. His teachings and writings have inspired millions, and his humble demeanor, often referring to himself as a "simple Buddhist monk," has endeared him to followers and admirers alike. Despite living in exile since 1959, the Dalai Lama continues to be a beacon of hope and spiritual guidance, using his platform to promote interfaith understanding and global harmony.
