NoteHis Holiness the Fourteenth Dalai Lama, Tenzin Gyatso, was born in 1935 to a peasant family in northeastern Tibet and was recognized at the age of two as the reincarnation of his predecessor, the Thirteenth Dalai Lama. The world's foremost Buddhist leader, he travels extensively, speaking eloquently in favor of ecumenical understanding, kindness and compassion, respect for the environment, and, above all, world peace.

AbstractEver since Europeans first penetrated Tibet, the Dali Lamas have been regarded as a mystery. The present incarnation has taken off the veil of mystery, and told the simple and moving story of his life: the wise men who searched for him and identified him, the son of a humble peasent, when he was two; his enthronement when he was four; his unique boyhood and education in the Potala and Morbulingka palaces in the 'forbidden city' of Lhasa; the call to active leadership of his country against the Chinese Communist invaders when he was only sixteen; his nine years of endeavour to apply the Buddhist doctrine of non-violence to the cold war; the final desperate crisis in Lhasa, his momentous meetings with Mao Tse-tung, Chou Enlai and other Chinese leaders, and the dramatic escape on horseback to India which roused the whole world in 1959.
