Dalaï Lama

born on July 6, 1935 ý TagstËr, a small village of Amdo, situÈ not far from the cÈlËbre monastËre of Kumbum, Lhamo Theundoup is recognized, whereas it is only two years old, as the rEincarnation of its thirteen prÈdÈcesseurs (the first was born in 1351), terrestrial demonstration of TchËnrÈri, the bodhisattva of the compassion. “DalaÔ” is a Mongolian word meaning ocÈan and “LAMA”, Èquivalent tibÈtain of the Indian term guru which dÈsigne a spiritual maÓtre. AccolÈs one ý the other, the two terms are often translated freely by “OcÈan of wisdom”. But “DalaÔ LAMA” is before a whole title. That of spiritual chief - religious figure more Èminente of the Buddhist world - and of temporal chief of Tibet - chief of the government -. At four years, Tenzin Gyatso is intronisÈ ý Lhassa, capital of Tibet, in order to assume later the direction of its people. DËs' Ge the six year old, he becomes monk and reÁoit high level Èdication to form it ý its religious functions and the prÈparer ý to direct the country… In 1949, China invades Tibet, and tibÈtain rÈclame populates it the handing-over of the full powerss ý the teenager. TrËs quickly and malgrÈ all its efforts for an opened dialogue, it understands that an agreement between China and Tibet will be difficult. But it refuses any fight armÈe, certain that the consÈquences would be catastrophic for TibÈtains. In addition, Buddhism calls ý an absolute non-violence. However, the rÈsistances are organized; the attacks of the combatants of the libertÈ multiply, aussitÙt followed rÈpressions without pitiÈ on behalf of the Chinese. It is in this tended climate trËs that Tenzin Gyatso passes with succËs its doctorate in Ètudes Buddhists and reÁoit thus the academic qualification more ÈlevÈ: guÈshÈ lharampa. A few days later, the Chinese tighten a piËge to him. Fearing for the life of his chief, the people tibÈtain gather around the palate of ÈtÈ of DalaÔ LAMA, Norbulingka. The Chinese prÈparent an attack against crowd and a bombardment of the city. DalaÔ LAMA must rÈsigner ý be fled, thus espÈrant Èviter the massacre… which took place malgrÈ all. The pandit Nehru accomodates it cordially and the political asylum to him in India as to the 80.000 TibÈtains offers which fled the persÈcutions. Today, DalaÔ LAMA rÈside always ý Dharamsala, Indian village situÈ in the buttresses of the Himalayas, of oËœ it directs gouverment in exile and continues ý to teach Buddhism. To lý, it endeavours to rejoin the free nations and the United Nations ý the cause of Tibet. It will turn over in its country only when it can guarantee the happiness of TibÈtains there. In 1963, it has promulguÈ a dEmocratic constitution for Tibet, implemented by the government tibÈtain in exile. In September 1987, it has prÈsentÈ in front of members of CongrËs amÈricain his Peace plan in five points prÈvoyant to transform Tibet into a zone of peace (Ahimsa) internationally recognized by the means of the dEmilitarisation, the natural environmental protection of Tibet, and the beginning of sÈrieuses nÈgociations without condition prÈalable between the reprÈsentants tibÈtains and Chinese on the future of Tibet. In dÈcembre 1989, it reÁoit the Nobel Prize of Peace in homage ý its peaceful combat. It has dÈclarÈ publicly little time ago that it would not assume any official position in free Tibet in order to facilitate the introduction and dÈveloppement of a healthy dÈmocratie.
