His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama, Tenzin Gyatso, describes himself as a simple Buddhist monk. He is the spiritual leader of Tibet and was born on 6 July 1935, to a farming family, in a small hamlet located in Taktser, Amdo, northeastern Tibet.
In 1989, the Dalai Lama was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize for his tireless efforts to find a peaceful solution to the Chinese occupation of his country. He travels the world giving Buddhist teachings and public talks on a wide range of topics including universal responsibility and the importance of secular ethics in the modern age.
He lives in Dharamsala in northern India.
The Dalai Lama will give religious teachings and public talks in three American cities beginning in Alabama on October 23rd and ending in New York City on November 4th. More information on these events can be found at www.DalaiLama.com/Teachings/Schedule.
The Tibetan Association of Boston (TAB) is a non-profit charitable organization founded in 1992 under the auspices of His Holiness the Dalai Lama and the Tibetan Government in Exile.
TAB strives to preserve and promote the unique Tibetan cultural tradition within the Tibetan
community and further the just cause of Tibet. There are more than 600 Tibetans living in and around the Greater Boston area. The community is currently working towards the establishment of a Heritage Center to preserve and promote Tibetan culture and to share it with other citizens of Greater Boston.
