The Dalai Lama was born on July 6, 1935, in Taktser, Tibet. He was recognized as the reincarnation of the 13th Dalai Lama at the age of two and was formally enthroned in 1940. His early years were spent in traditional Tibetan monasteries, where he received extensive training in Buddhist philosophy and practices. Following the Chinese invasion of Tibet in 1950, the Dalai Lama fled to India in 1959, where he has since established a government-in-exile and continued to advocate for the rights of Tibetans.
