The Dalai Lama, Tenzin Gyatso, is a Tibetan Buddhist leader and author whose books on compassion, ethics, mindfulness, and global responsibility include The Art of Happiness and Freedom in Exile. Awarded the 1989 Nobel Peace Prize, his works have been translated widely and have shaped global conversations on nonviolence and spirituality.
Tenzin Gyatso, the 14th Dalai Lama, was born on July 6, 1935, in Taktser, a small village in northeastern Tibet, to a farming family. Identified in early childhood as the reincarnation of the 13th Dalai Lama, he was taken to Lhasa and formally enthroned while still a boy. His education followed the rigorous monastic curriculum of Tibetan Buddhism, combining philosophy, logic, debate, and ethical training. Two decisive turning points shaped the rest of his life: in 1950, after the entry of Chinese forces into Tibet, he was called on to assume full political authority while still very young; in 1959, after the failed Tibetan uprising in Lhasa, he fled to India, where he established himself in Dharamsala and became the central figure of the Tibetan exile community.
