\u201cLove and compassion are necessities, not luxuries. Without them, humanity cannot survive.\u201d<\/em> \u2015 His Holiness The Dalai Lama.<\/span><\/p>\n

Kindness, empathy, and compassion are the core of his teachings – and when you’d look at him mindfully, there’s a certain sense of peace that dwells on his face. <\/span><\/p>\n

Yes, we are talking about the great spiritual leader from Tibet – The Dalai Lama. His Holiness Tenzin Gyatso (also known by the name Lhamo Thondup) is the fourteenth & the longest-reigning Dalai Lama and at the age of 85 years, he’s still spreading the message of love and brotherhood, peace and freedom.<\/span><\/p>\n

Being born in Tibet, His Holiness studied Buddhism from a very early age and when he was 16-years-old, he spoke up for a free and democratic Tibet, which sparked a Chinese military occupation of the province in 1959. <\/span><\/p>\n

He was forced to leave Tibet along with his supporters – and he came to India, where he has lived ever since. His pursuit of humanitarian and environmental causes, as well as global peace, fetched him the Nobel Prize for Peace in 1989. <\/span><\/p>\n
