I have attended meetings addressed by the Dalai Lama. Buddhists seem to invariably treat him with the greatest respect, and hang on his every word. Those who can touch his hand feel blessed.
Buddhists.
The Dalai Lama is the head of the Gelug tradition of Tibetan Buddhism. All Buddhists recognize that the Dalai Lama is an influential Buddhist and teacher.
No.
Tenzin Gyatso, the 14th Dalai Lama.
The Dalai Lama is the official head of Tibetan Buddhism, and the head of Tibet. Due to Chinese occupation, which began in 1959, the Dalai Lama has been in exile. Tibetan Buddhists believe that the present Dalai Lama is the reincarnation of a Dalai Lama from a past life, who has come back to complete important work.
The Dalai Lama is the spiritual head of the Gelug tradition of Tibetan Buddhism and until recently, the secular leader of the Tibetan people. While widely respected throughout the world, the Dalai Lama is not the head of all Buddhist traditions.
The current Dalai Lama is the 14th Dalai Lama.
The Dalai Lama has long been considered the secular (nonreligious) leader of Tibet although that has recently changed as the Dalai Lama would like the people of Tibet to have a democratically elected leader. The Dalai Lama is also the religious head of one of the major schools of Tibetan Buddhism called the Gelug, or yellow hat Buddhists.
The Dalai Lama has never made a statement on whether or not he believes in extraterrestrial beings, but since he has never spoken about it and Buddhists in general do not believe in aliens, it is safe to assume that he does not believe in them.
That is an interesting question since it can be answered in many ways. How much is the Dalai Lama worth to Buddhists around the world? He is priceless since whether you follow his lineage or not, he represents a lot of what is good about Buddhists and being a good person. How much does the Dalai Lama own (worth)? Actually very little, as a monk and he own only a few possessions. How much does the Dalai Lama have in resources (Worth)? Because he was the head of the Tibeten government he had the resources (wealth) of the government at his disposal for use.
No, Malcolm X was a Muslim. He left the Nation Of Islam, but he was still a Muslim. He was not a Buddhists.
The Dalai Lama is a Buddhist leader of religious officials of the Gelug or "Yellow Hat" branch of Tibetan Buddhism.This is a Mahahyanic Buddhist sect with additional aspects of native Tibtan religions.
