The+Dalai+Lama

A Dalai Lama is the religious and political leader of Tibet. The current Dalai Lama of Tibet is Tenzin Gyatso. He is the forteenth Dalai Lama. In 1989, he won the Nobel Peace Prize for his support with Tibet and China. The term Dalai Lama wasn't actully the title of the political and religious leader until the 3rd Dalai Lama. After the Dalai Lama dies, a search for a new Dalai Lama is on. A two year old who seems to have the same personality and thinking features is anounced the be the Dalai Lama's new body. This is why the Tibetans don't say that they have had 14 different Dalai Lamas rather than one Dalai Lama in 14 different bodies. Today's Dalai Lama was born on July 5, 1935 in the provence of Amdo.

On march twenty-third, 2008 Tibet broke out in rioting against China. The Dalai Lama wanted to give speech in South Africa one year later, but South Africa didn't le him because of thier tight trading relaions with China.
