Dalai Lama (Buddhism)

The Dalai Lama is a prominent spiritual leader in Tibetan Buddhism, regarded as the 14th reincarnation of a line of lamas dedicated to compassion and wisdom. The title "Dalai Lama" means "Ocean of Wisdom." He is not only a religious figure but also an advocate for peace, human rights, and compassion. Since fleeing to India in 1959 due to the Chinese occupation of Tibet, he has worked to promote Buddhist teachings and dialogue between cultures. The Dalai Lama emphasizes the importance of kindness, mindfulness, and ethical living in a modern world facing numerous challenges.
