The 14th Dalai Lama (born 1935), began visiting Australia in 1982. He is a Buddhist monk who is considered the spiritual leader of Tibet. He moved into exile in 1959, after the annexation of Tibet by China which began in 1950. The 14th Dalia Lama has become one of the worlds most recognisable religious leaders in the 20th century, having visited many countries around the globe, teaching Buddist principles and advocating for the liberation of Tibet and for peace. He was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1989.
