Tenzin Gyatso is a Buddhist monk and the 14th Dalai Lama, the spiritual and political leader of Tibet. He began his education at age six, studying Buddhist philosophy, Tibetan culture, logic, Sanskrit, and medicine. As China took control of Tibet and oppressed its people, the Dalai Lama advocates for Tibetan democracy and self-rule, putting himself in opposition to one of the world's largest superpowers. Similarly to Jesus, he spreads kindness and helps humanity through popular media like Twitter. The Dalai Lama has spoken before the US Congress and European Parliament, and is working to free Tibet from China and restore its culture through a detailed democratic process.
