Nobel Peace Prize 1989
The Dalai Lama often says “I am just a simple Buddhist monk – no more, no less.”
Living in a small cottage in Dharamsala, he rises at 4 am each morning to meditate, attend meetings, host private audiences, and conduct religious teachings and ceremonies. He concludes each day with more prayers.
The Dalai Lama has worked hard over the years to bring compassion and loving kindness to the world. For him, this is the only way to bring peace to Tibet and to the world.
In 1989 the Dalai Lama was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize for his efforts to find a non-violent solution to the conflict with China.
He continues to travel the globe speaking to world leaders about nonviolent solutions to world peace.
