The 14th Dalai Lama Biography Flash a weekly Biography.

Today marks a significant milestone for the Tibetan spiritual leader as communities around the world commemorate the 36th anniversary of His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama receiving the Nobel Peace Prize. According to reports from Shimla, the Tibetan community in exile gathered to celebrate what they're calling Compassion Day, honoring his 90 years of life. The celebration included traditional offerings of white scarves and prayers, with participants reflecting on how His Holiness has consistently advocated for peace and dialogue rather than violence, even in the face of tremendous adversity.

Just over a week ago, on November 17th, more than six thousand people assembled at the Main Tibetan Temple in Dharamsala to mark the 75th anniversary of His Holiness assuming full spiritual and temporal authority as head of state of the Government of Tibet. The occasion drew diverse supporters and former students from residential schools across India and Nepal who came to express their gratitude for his decades of leadership and compassion.

The past month has seen His Holiness remain actively engaged in both ceremonial and diplomatic endeavors. In late November, he met with more than 180 Chinese monks and nuns from three Taiwanese monasteries, who offered prayers for his long life in Chinese, demonstrating the broad reach of his spiritual influence across different Buddhist communities. Around the same time, His Holiness extended congratulations to Indian political leader Nitish Kumar following his coalition's success in a recent state assembly election, praising their friendship and the hospitality extended during his visits to Bihar and Bodh Gaya.

Earlier in December, His Holiness issued a compassionate statement regarding the devastating storms and torrential rains that swept through Southeast Asia, affecting Indonesia, Sri Lanka, Vietnam, Thailand, Malaysia, and the Philippines. He offered heartfelt condolences to the families of those who lost their lives and prayers for the swift recovery of the injured.

Throughout 2025, His Holiness has maintained an extensive schedule of public teachings and long-life prayers offered by various Tibetan communities and monasteries, continuing his mission to spread Buddhist teachings and compassion on a global scale.
