His Holiness the Dalai Lama

Tenzin Gyatso, the 14th Dalai Lama

Tenzin Gyatso, the 14th Dalai Lama, is not only the spiritual and secular leader
of Tibetans, but also a charismatic ambassador of peace. Due to his passionate commitment to human values such as compassion, non-violence, and tolerance, he enjoys great empathy across all religions, political parties, and social groups.

In 1989 he was awarded the Nobel Prize for Peace in recognition of his non-violent campaign to resolve the Tibetan conflict and for his worldwide role as a man of peace and advocate for the environment. In recent years, a number of western universities and institutions have conferred Peace Awards and honorary Doctorate Degrees upon His Holiness. A tireless researcher, His Holiness has opened the door to create a dialogue and research collaboration between modern science and spirituality, and encouraged international centres and forums where spiritual experience is considered to be a genuine aspiration to a knowledge that reveals new spaces of conscience and expression.

His message of peace is based on fundamental values such as compassion, tolerance, and forgiveness.
