The Dalai Lama (born July 6, 1935) is the 14th Dalai Lama, a prominent religious leader of Tibetan Buddhism's Gelug school. Born as Tenzin Gyatso in Qinghai Province, China, he is recognized as an incarnation of Avalokiteshvara. He advocates non-violence, peace, and interfaith dialogue, and was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1989.

His influence remains controversial, blending religious authority with political dissent. more

“Who are you?" "I am Death," said the creature. "I thought that was obvious." "But you're so small!" "Only because you are small.
