The 14th Dalai Lama: Tenzin Gyatzo

Born on a farm in Northern Tibet in 1935, he was to become the 14th Dalai Lama.

He was named as Lhamo Thondup but his name was changed to Tenzin Gyatzo and he began his training in the local monastery when he was just 5 years old.

So how did he become the 14th Dalai Lama you might asked. Well let's keep going and see.

When a Dalai Lama dies ...

a search is conducted to find his reincarnated spirit. The search begins for a boy who was born shortly after the Dalai Lama died.

Though I am a firm believer in reincarnation, I find the process of find the Dalai Lama's successor to be a bit strange. However, I keep an open mind because I believe that all things are possible unless you have direct proof that it is not.

You can read much more about the process in the link directly below this module.

Reincarnation vs Transmigration of the soul

There is a big difference between to the two.

Reincarnation means a human is reborn as a human. Transmigration means a human is reborn as an animal.

    They do have a process and a procedure in place to locate the 'Soul'! However, although the 'Spirit' does reincarnate again, I would never; or rather anyone for that matter, would be able to authenticate the veracity of the process!

    The world would be such a better place if we were all as wise, humble and gentle as the Dalai Lama. If I could meet only one "famous" person in this world, I would love to meet the Dalai Lama. I would love to just to be in his presence.
