In today's politically charged life....it's difficult to say what a single person may have as his agenda...his plan of what he does and WHY he does things. Speaking directly from a Buddhist perspective...the Dalai Lama (Great Spiritual Friend)seeks to show others the way of release from the wheel of suffering...and he seeks to regain the autonomy of the country of Tibet so it's beauty, culture, and amazing history does not fade into obscurity.He has been steadfast in his work with China in making right the grave injustices heaped upon Tibet and it's marvelous people, and I for one, though I do not recognize him as any person of great importance in my actual practice, greatly admire him and his efforts, and continue my support for Tibet in any way I might be able to help.
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 14th Dalai Lama is the current Dalai Lama. He was born in 1935 and he is still alive.
The 14th Dalai Lama is Tenzin Gyatso.
The Dalai Lama won't retire. Like being a Bishop, being a Lama is a job for life. At the Dalai Lama's death, a new Dalai Lama will be chosen by the High Lamas of the Gelugpa tradition of Tibetan Buddhism.
