Dalai Lama

Buddhism doesn't reject, it accepts

About Me

"I am a simple Buddhist monk.. no more, no less."
Hello, I am the 14th Dalai Lama, succeeding the 13 other Dalai Lama's before me. I have held this title since the year 1935 (My Birthdate) but the long chain of Dalai Lamas' have ruled under Buddist influence since 1391. Ever since I was a child I have taken many tests all which have confirmed my Holiness. I am the enforcer / representative of Buddism. Besides the fact that I am a Dalai Lama, my real name is Tenzin Gyatso. I was born into a farming family and was given many tasks as a young child. I am also Tibets "head of state". During the mid-point in my life, I was forced into exile from Tibet. This is where I commuted to Dharamsala, India. Despite my being forced into exile, I still ruled, and kept my position as Head of State, and as the liberator of Tibet. If you want information on Buddhism, or Buddha himself, Go to www.myspace.com/buddahforever : hes THE REAL BUDDHA. I am not forcing anything, just trying to help my fellow humans find the true path to englightenment.

My Interests

Being Tibet's "Head of state", Liberating and freeing Tibet, being one with Buddha, educating myself in religion, writing books, praying and castrating Buddha statues, Meditating, cleansing the suffering souls of people. Helping others convert to Buddhism, travelling all around the world, taking part in peace talks with other religious/politcal leaders, and just looking out for the good of mankind.
