The Dalai Lama is the head monk of Tibetan Buddhism and traditionally has been responsible for the governing of Tibet. In 1950, at the age of 15, he was enthroned as the 14th Dalai Lama. In 1959, after the failed Tibetan uprising against Chinese rule, the Dalai Lama fled to India, where he has lived in exile ever since. He has been a vocal advocate for Tibetan independence and has received numerous awards for his work, including the Nobel Peace Prize in 1989.
