Fourteenth Dalai Lama

Fourteenth Dalai Lama
The 14th Dalai Lama of Tibetan Buddhism, Tenzin Gyatso, fled Tibet in 1959 after an unsuccessful Tibetan revolt against the occupying forces of the Chinese Communist government. His nonviolent efforts to free Tibet earned him a Nobel Peace Prize in 1989.
