The Dalai Lama gained the Nobel Peace Prize on December 10, 1989 for his peaceful activism on behalf of his indigenous state Tibet.   

Born in 1935, he was identified as the reincarnation of the prior Dalai Lama when he was two a long time old.

China, which took handle of Tibet in 1950, makes the Nobel peace laureate a perilous separatist.

‘In long run, in scenario you see two Dalai Lamas appear, one particular from listed here, in totally free state, a single chosen by Chinese, then no person will have confidence in, no one will respect (the just one selected by China).

The Chinese government denounces every state that permits the Dalai Lama to visit and continually attempts to extinguish his authority in their territories. 

While Tibetan Buddhists perception that just after his death, the soul of the Dalai Lama is reincarnated in a boy or girl, which is recognized right after numerous rituals and divinations, Beijing insist that governing administration-permitted appointees have the suitable to selected the Dalai Lama’s successor. 

Back in 1995, when the Dalai Lama named the new Panchen Lama, which after him is the most crucial figure in Buddhism, the Chinese arrested the boy and replaced him with their have governing administration-authorized candidate.
