Two-year-old Lhamo Thondup never imagined he would be anything
other than an ordinary child, but after undergoing a series of
tests, he was proclaimed the 14th Dalai Lama of Tibet. By age 15,
he found himself the undisputed leader of six million people who
were facing the threat of a full-scale war from the Chinese. After
the defeat of the Tibetan national uprising in 1959, the Dalai Lama
had to flee Tibet and went into exile in India. For nearly 50
years, he has aimed to establish Tibet as a self-governing,
democratic state. In 1989, he was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize for
his nonviolent efforts for the liberation of Tibet and his concern
for global environmental problems. As the spiritual leader of
Tibetan Buddhism, the Dalai Lama continues to spend his life
working to benefit humanity and preserving Tibetan culture.
