The fourteenth Dalai Lama is probably one of the most recognisable faces in the world. The Tibetan spiritual leader has travelled far across various corners of the globe spreading the message of peace, kindness and religious harmony a reason why he was conferred with the Nobel Peace Prize in 1989.
Born on 6 July 1935 to a farming family in northeastern Tibet, Lhamo Dhondup was recognised as the reincarnation of the previous (13th) Dalai Lama at the age of two. He was then rechristened as Tenzin Gyatso, the 14th Dalai Lama the patron saint of Tibet.
