H.H. the Fourteenth Dalai Lama Tenzin Gyatso

His Holiness the Fourteenth Dalai Lama Tenzin Gyatso is Tibet's spiritual leader and the seniormost figure in the Tibetan Buddhist tradition.

Sogyal Rinpoche says:

"The Dalai Lama is, I believe, nothing less than the face of the Buddha of Compassion turned toward an endangered humanity, the incarnation of Avalokiteshvara not only for Tibet and not only for Buddhists, but for the whole world--in need, as never before, of healing compassion and of his example to total dedication to peace."
