The Dalai Lama is the title of the spiritual and political leader of the Tibetan people. In the Tibetan language Dalai means ocean and Lama means teacher. Dalai Lama represents the ocean of wisdom. The Dalai Lama is worshipped as the bodily form of the Buddhist saint of compassion, Chenrezig. Each new Dalai Lama is believed to be the reincarnation of all the previous ones. The fourteenth Dalai Lama was born in 1935 in the Chinghai province of China. He began rule over Tibet when he was fourteen and was later exiled in 1959 after the Chinese took over Tibet (Demi, 15) Since 1959 the Dalai Lama has met with officials from most democratic countries seeking financial and political support for his efforts to return control of Tibet to the Tibetans. ... Though the Dalai Lama has gained international sympathy for his cause, the Chinese have not softened their position and a return of the Dalai Lama to Tibet is unlikely in the near future.
