1935-
Spiritual leader promoting peace and compassion
Have you ever wondered if a single person’s words could bring peace to millions of hearts? Meet the Dalai Lama! He’s a real person who travels the world to share a simple but powerful message: kindness and compassion can change everything.
The Dalai Lama is a spiritual leader from the beautiful mountains of Tibet. As the 14th Dalai Lama, his most important work is teaching people how to be kind, calm their minds, and treat everyone with respect, no matter where they live.
He was born in 1935 in a tiny village in Tibet. At only four years old, he was recognized as the Dalai Lama, which means 'Ocean of Wisdom.' This title makes him both a wise teacher and a guide for people searching for peace.
Over many years, the Dalai Lama traveled to schools, palaces, and busy cities. He wrote books about finding happiness inside yourself. In 1989, he won the Nobel Peace Prize for his nonviolent efforts to bring freedom to his homeland and for teaching peace to the world.
Today, millions of people look up to him because he shows how a calm heart can overcome fear. His message reminds us that every kind action, no matter how small, can spark hope and help make our world a friendlier place. Let’s carry his message by sharing kindness every day!
