H.H. the Dalai Lama. His secretary recorded it down.

an autonomous region

China invaded Tibet in order to try to gain control over it in 1950. The claim that they used to justify the invasion was that the governments of the two nations had been once central government at one time, meaning that Tibet was legally a part of China.

Theravada Buddhism is the oldest surviving school of Buddhist thought. Much of the Theravada Buddhist philosophy and lifestyle is based on the Pali Canonical Texts that are said the original Teachings given by the Buddha. The practitioners live their lives in pursuit of becoming an Arhat (sometimes said to mean "One who has vanquished his enemies"). The enemies being vanquished are greed, hate, and ignorance. In Theravada Buddhism, an Arhat is considered to be enlightened. Practitioners primarily look at the Tripitaka, consisting of the Vinaya Pitaka, which lays out the rules for monastic life, the Sutta Pitaka, which includes the texts that are said to be the teachings of the Buddha, and the Abhidhama Pitaka, which lays out the ideas of the Suttas in a scholastic sort of way.

The Dalai Lama practices Vajrayana Buddhism. A little background is needed to say what this is. A type of Buddhism, referred to as Mahayana (the "Great Vehicle"), emerged with the evolution of Buddhist philosophy and thought. It is not my purpose for this discussion to go into legitimacy or origin of certain texts, so I will not expound much upon where the Mahayana canonical texts originated. A major thing stressed by Mahayana is the figure of the Bodhisattva; this, in short, is a person who vows to attain Buddhahood for the sake of all sentient beings. This messianic goal is said to arise from bodhicitta (the mindset that, from compassion, causes you to want to be a Buddha for the sake of all other beings). Mahayana Buddhists argue that becoming an Arhat is an incomplete attainment of enlightenment and that one must become a Bodhisattva to eventually attain Buddhahood for the sake of all beings. It is said, that from the moment of bodhicitta's arising in a practitioner and his or her taking of the Bodhisattva vows, it will take three incalculable eons to achieve Buddhahood (Three enormous periods of death and rebirth). There are some philisophical differences from Theravada here in that the idea of selflessness is extend to all symbolic constructs (Sunyata). Vajrayana, or Tantric Buddhism, is made for those who can not wait that long. This is for people that want to attain enlightenment in a very short period of time. Tantra is an esoteric tradition that is said to use Artful Means (a major idea in Mahayana) to speed the process along. Rather than deny and renounce one's poisons(those that an Arhat rids himself of), one uses their immense power and focuses it to produce profound results in meditation and realization in a relatively short period of time. This is done with the guidance of a teacher who is said to be accomplished in the Tantric ways, lest the practitioner wishes to be very misguided (possibly lose his mind). This is the form of Buddhism practiced by the Dalai Lama.

Mount Everest is important because it is the highest mountain in the world.

I love u

Tibet is not free because China took it over.

In my opinion, they are similar because they are fighting or fought peacefully for freedom for people. Martin Luther King was fighting for equality, right to vote and education, etc while the Dalai Lama is fighting for freedom of religion, equality for the Tibetans in Tibet under the Chinese government.

The Tibetan "Tubo Kingdom" was founded in the 8th century by Songtsen Gampo. The Tubo Kingdom became part of China in the 13th century. The current Tibet Autonomous Region was established in 1962.

Traditional Tibet (965,000 sq mi) is slightly larger than Alaska (268,500 sq mi) and Texas (663,260 sq mi) combined.

i don't think there's some difference . it always belong to republic of china until 1953 CCP controlled Tibet ,and 1956 Tibet aotonomous region was founded

Mount Everest, the highest mountain in the world can be found on the border of Nepal and Tibet in the Himalayan mountains.

The Mariana Trench or Marianas Trench is the deepest part of the world's oceans. It is located in the western Pacific Ocean, to the east of the Mariana Islands.

Allegations of a "Tibet genocide" has never been proven, nor is it recognized by any country in the world.

Choosing a Dalai Lama After the death of a Dalai Lama it has traditionally been the responsibility of the High Lamas of the Gelugpa Tradition and the Tibetan government to find his reincarnation. The High Lamas search for a boy who was born around the same time as the death of the Dalai Lama. It can take around two or three years to identify the Dalai Lama, and for the current, 14th Dalai Lama, it was four years before he was found. There are several ways in which the High Lamas might find out the location of where the next reincarnation will be found. * Dream - One of the High Lamas may dream about some mark or location that will identify the boy. * Smoke - If the previous Dalai Lama was cremated, High Lamas will watch the direction of the smoke and search accordingly. * Oracle Lake - High Lamas go to a holy lake, called Lhamo Lhatso, in central Tibet and watch for a sign from the lake itself. This may be either a vision or some indication of the direction in which to search.The home and village of Tenzin Gyatso, was identified in a vision from this lake. Once the High Lamas have located the home and the boy, they present a number of artefacts which they have brought with them in preparation, to the child. Amongst these artefacts are a number of items that belonged to the deceased Dalai Lama. If the boy chooses the items which belonged to the previous Dalai Lama, this is seen as a sign, in conjunction with all of the other indications, that the boy is a reincarnation. This procedure however, as Tenzin Gyatso has said himself, is not set in stone and if two thirds of the Tibetan people wish to change the method of identifying the next reincarnation, this would be just as valid. The search for the Dalai Lama has usually been limited to Tibet, although the third tulku was born in Mongolia. However, as Tibet has been taken by the Chinese government, Tenzin Gyatso says that if he is reborn it will not be in a country run by the People's Republic of China, or any other country which is not free.

No. Its different country.

The term "Dalai Lama" originates from the Mongolian word "dalai," meaning "ocean," and the Tibetan word "lama," which refers to a spiritual teacher or guru. The title was first bestowed upon the third leader of the Gelug school of Tibetan Buddhism, Sonam Gyatso, in the 16th century. The Dalai Lama is regarded as the spiritual leader of Tibetan Buddhism and is believed to be the reincarnation of a line of tulkus who are manifestations of Avalokiteshvara, the Bodhisattva of compassion.

Tibet is not a single holy city but rather a region that holds significant spiritual importance for Buddhists, particularly Tibetan Buddhism. The city of Lhasa, which is the capital of Tibet, is home to important religious sites like the Potala Palace and Jokhang Temple, making it a major pilgrimage destination for Buddhists. The region's rich spiritual heritage, including its monasteries and teachings, contributes to its status as a sacred place within Buddhism.

HH the Dalai Lama is a teacher of Tibetan Buddhism, his students come from the Tibetan community, all other Buddhist traditions and millions of other people worldwide.
