More than fifty years have passed since the Dalai Lama’s escape, and Tibet is still not free. Chinese immigrants now outnumber Tibetans, and the country’s ancient religion and traditions are practiced only by the escaped Tibetans now living in Dharamsala. The Dalai Lama has spent the past five decades traveling the world to protest this injustice. In 1989 the world heard his message: he was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize. Overall, the Dalai Lama has been presented with more than 125 awards and honors for his peace work. Because of his example, world leaders, Hollywood celebrities, and the media regularly speak out for Tibet and put pressure on China to change their policies.
In 1996, a Seattle, Washington, boy was discovered to be the reincarnation of a Tibetan lama. At age two, the boy was taken to a Buddhist monastery in Nepal to begin his studies.
