He left his homeland in 1960 and migrated to India to protest against China. The Dalai Lama is currently living in McLeodganj, a suburb of Dharmasala in Himachal Pradesh, India.
Six decades after his exile from Tibet, the Dalai Lama, who is still widely regarded as the spiritual and political leader of Tibet, continues to work tirelessly to shape the lives of millions of people around the world through the teachings of the Buddha.
