Dalai Lama

His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama, Tenzin Gyatso, is the spiritual leader of Tibetan Buddhism and a global advocate for peace, compassion, and interfaith unity. Born in 1935 and recognized at age two as the reincarnation of the Dalai Lama, he assumed leadership of Tibet during a period of intense conflict and has lived in exile in India since 1959. Awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1989 for his dedication to nonviolent resistance, he continues to travel the world teaching the importance of compassion, human rights, and inner peace. Known for his humility, humor, and deep insight, he combines ancient Buddhist wisdom with modern psychological understanding to offer practical guidance on living a meaningful and balanced life.
