His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama, being a simple Buddhist monk, emerges as a global Buddhist peace icon, manifests the deep impact of his vision of peacekeeping and universal responsibility for the human species.
He symbolizes a hero who possesses the morality to stay strong in the face of temptation presented by fame and influence, the dedication to strive for the goal no matter the obstacles, and the tolerance to accept all those he meets along his journey to change the world into a better place for all beings.
As a tribute to His Holiness the Dalai Lama’s great service to the humanity, we celebrate his birthday every year.
