The 14th Dalai Lama

On Meditation


The Dalai Lama is held to be the reincarnation of each of the previous thirteen Dalai Lamas of Tibet (the first having been born in 1351 AD), who are in turn considered to be manifestations of Avalokiteshvara, or Chenrezig, Bodhisattva of Compassion, holder of the White Lotus.<< from dalailama.com
	His Holyness, the 14th Dalai Lama

The Dalai Lama was born on 6 July 1935, named Lhamo Thondup, to a poor family in Taktser in the province of Amdo. The name, Lhamo Thondup, literally means ’Wish-Fulfilling Goddess’.<< from dalailama.com

At the age of fifteen, the Dalai Lama was on 17 November 1950 enthroned as the temporal leader of Tibet....

The next nine years saw the Dalai Lama trying to evade a full-scale military takeover of Tibet by China on one hand and placating the growing resentment among Tibetan resistance fighters against the Chinese aggressors on the other. But disheartening reports of increasing brutality towards his own people continued to pour in when the young Dalai Lama was giving his final monastic examinations.<<from dalailama.com
