The Dalai Lama's Life Journey
Born on July 6, 1935, to a farming family in a small hamlet called Taktser in Amdo province in northeastern Tibet, the Dalai Lama was given the birth name Lhamo Dhondup.
He was recognized as the tulku, or the reincarnation of the 13th Dalai Lama, Thubten Gyatso, in 1937 when he was two years old.
In 1959, the occupying Chinese troops suppressed the Tibetan national uprising in Lhasa and forced the Dalai Lama and over 80,000 Tibetans into exile in India and neighboring countries.
Upon reaching India, after a three-week-long hazardous journey, the Dalai Lama first took up residence for about a year in Mussoorie, in the state of Uttarakhand.
On March 10, 1960, just before moving to Dharamsala, which now serves as the headquarters of the exiled Tibetan establishment, the Dalai Lama said: “For those of us in exile, I said that our priority must be resettlement and the continuity of our cultural traditions. As to the future...we, Tibetans, would eventually prevail in regaining freedom for Tibet.”
Buddhist monasteries and cultural institutions destroyed in Tibet have been revived and rebuilt in exile.
Nearly 130,000 Tibetans-in-exile live in different countries around the world in both compact and scattered communities.
About 80,000 are settled in 54 different locations across India, Nepal, and Bhutan.
