H.H. the Dalai Lama
Born
in 1935 into a farming family in northeastern Tibet, the Fourteenth Dalai Lama
was recognized early in his life as a reincarnation of the Thirteenth Dalai
Lama. By age four, he was enthroned in Lhasa. During the 1950s, the political
stability of Tibet was threatened when China's People's Liberation Army entered
the country and established a military presence. Increased tensions put the
life of the Fourteenth Dalai Lama in danger, and in 1959, he fled the country
at night to Dharamsala, India, where he established the Tibetan government in
exile.
