The Dalai Lama Coloring Page

The 14th Dalai Lama, Tenzin Gyatso, was born in a small village in Tibet in 1935. When he was about two, monks searching for the next Dalai Lama decided that he was the one, and he was moved to the capital, Lhasa, to be raised and trained.

In 1959 he fled to India and has lived there since, in the town of Dharamshala, with the Tibetan government in exile. He won the Nobel Peace Prize in 1989 for his peaceful approach to solving conflict, and he travels and teaches about compassion.
