At the age of two, Tenzin Gyatso was recognized as the reincarnation of the 13th Dalai Lama. Thirteen years later, in 1950, he was enthroned as the 14th Dalai Lama of Tibet. The Nechung Oracle was his oracle, and the official state oracle for Tibet. The Nechung Oracle had predicted that the 14th Dalai Lama would lose his country. He also predicted that the Dalai Lama would lose his life if he didn't leave in 1959. For that year, there was an attempt to end nine years of Chinese occupation. The uprising failed, and the Chinese eliminated the resistance movement. Though himself a Hindu, Indian Prime Minister Nehru let the Dalai Lama set up a government-in-exile just across the Tibet-India border, in Dharmsala. For Dharmsala already had an established Tibetan community, and established Buddhist monasteries. It has been predicted that if the Dalai Lama lives to be 100, he will get his country back.
In the year 1950 the Chinese came over to Tibet for a party. The Tibetans, very confused, said "No! There is no party here!" and sent the Chinese away. This made China sad and many people were hurt. The same thing happened the next year, and the next. Finally Tibet said "We've had enough!" and they packed up and left. The British Raj invited Tibet to live in their house. Tibet said "You're so cool!" China became sad that Tibet moved away so they moved into Tibet's house.
The Dalai Lama escaped from Tibet and fled to India in 1959. He has been living there ever since, altho he travels extensively throughout the world.
