The person i chose to do this report on is the Dalai
Lama. ...
The Dalai Lama was born July 6, 1935 as Lhamo Thondup
which literally translates to "wish fullfilling
goddess. ... At the age of 5 it was first
believed that he was the reincarnation of the previous
13 Dalai Lamas, the first one being born in 135 A. ...
The Dalai Lama is believed to be the manifestations of
Avalokiteshvara, Bodhisttva of Compassion holder of
the White Lotus. ... He was proven to be the Dalai Lama
by a group of monks that sought him out after his
predassor died. They proved that he was the one by
lying a group of belongings in front of him, some
belonging to the previous Dalai Lama and some not and
asking him to choose which were his in his previous
life. ... Shortly after he was enthroned
his brother was sent to him by the Chinese government
to force Communism upon the Dalai Lama and to make him
accept Chinese rule in Tibet. If the Dalai Lama
refused to do either his brother was supposed to
murder him and would thereby be rewarded by the
Chinese. The Dalai Lama called out to America and
Britain for help to intercede in Chinas overtaking of
Tibet but to no avail.
