Dear MEL School’s Topic Readers,
Dalai Lama
concedes he may be the last
Who is Dalai Lama?
He is the head monk of the "Yellow Hat" school of Tibetan Buddhism.
The first Dalai Lama was enthroned in the 15th century and the 14th
and current one was named in 1950. He was forced to exile to India in 1959 when
Chinese troops crushed an attempted uprising in Tibet. He has lived abroad ever
since but still held the title and passion as the spiritual leader of Tibetan
people.
He turns eighty in
2015 and now thinks it may be the time to decide whether or not to continue the
centuries-old tradition because of the current Tibetan situation.
Enjoy reading and
learning what the 14th or the last Dalai Lama think about Tibet and
China.
