Author Biography
Tenzin Gyatso, His Holiness the Fourteenth Dalai Lama, is the exiled spiritual leader of the Tibetan people. Born in north eastern Tibet in 1935, the Dalai Lama was recognized at the age of two as the reincarnation of the thirteenth Dalai Lama. He was brought to Lhasa, the capital of Tibet, and enthroned in 1940. Ten years later, he assumed full responsibility as Head of State and Government. After the suppression of the Tibetan national uprising of 1959, His Holiness escaped to India where he was given political asylum. He is now widely recognized as an advocate of world peace and has received many prestigious awards including the Nobel Peace Prize and the Albert Schweitzer Award.
