Tenzin Gyatso, His Holiness the XIV Dalai Lama, is the exiled spiritual leader of the Tibetan people. Born in 1935, he was recognized at the age of two as the reincarnation of the thirteenth Dalai Lama and was enthroned in 1940. Following the suppression of the Tibetan national uprising in 1959, he was given political asylum in India. He is widely recognized as an advocate of world peace, and has received many honors, including the Nobel Peace Prize in 1989.

"The only true guardian of peace lies within: a sense of concern and responsibility for your own future and an altruistic concern for the well-being of others."--His Holiness the Dalai Lama
