The Dalai Lama

Dear readers
Today I am going to write something this for my father 's birthday. It was my father's Birthday a few days ago and I didn't know until my father accidentally told me. I never got the chance to write him a birthday card or to even sing a song to him. Not even my sister knew it That is why I told him I would write an article about the Dalai Lama in order to give him my respect. So here it is.

The Fourteenth Dalai Lama
.


The Dalai lama is the 14th spiritual and political leader for Tibet.  His past lives have shown great courage and passion and now he is doing the same thing. He once fled to safety in India with his buddhists while the Chinese war to control Tibet. Since then he has been following the traditions and religious buddhism.

When the Dalai lama was born his name was Lhamo Thondup. He was born in July sixth 1935 in a village called Taktsar. There he was chosen to be the Dalai lama. He was asked many thing by the buddhists and answered them all correctly. That was how they knew he was the chosen one. He was only 2 years old at the time. He had a family of 4 boys and 2 girls. Along with a mother and father. The lived really close to a monastery and had a lot of gutters. That was how the buddhists found him. All of them had a vision of the new Dalai lama being in a place like this. We Tibetans believe in something called reincarnation. This happens for every Dalai lama. When they die they are reincarnated into another Tibetan and the cycle keeps on going.

The monks took Lhamo to a place in Tibet called Kumbum. Their he was taught about education and also teachings on buddhism and political speaking. Soon he left and went to Potola in Lhasa. He was now the leader of his nation. The monks taught him everything he needed to know. His onlyy classmate was one of his brothers. Whenever the Dalai Lama misbehaved his brother was punished instead of him. The Dalai lama also loved gadgets and mechanical stuff. The thirteenth Dalai lama was just like him. There were only 4 cars in Tibet and 3 of them were owned  by the thirteenth Dalai lama. Soon he took over the leadership of political issues. At the same time the Chinese communist army was plotting to take over the country. He was 15 and already leading the country in a blink of an eye.

The Dalai lama learned Buddhism soon after. He was recognized as the political leader for mostly every person in Tibet. He worked hard to help people who managed to flee from the country due to China. HE was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize for doing this. He remains active to this day and still helps people. No wonder he is noticed as one of the best political leader in the world. He wants peace, wisdom, and prosperity.
