The Dalai Lama and about a 100 thousand men and women went into exile in India, in 1959. Completely destitute at the beginning of their exile, they have succeeded in gradually rebuilding their monasteries, preserving their culture and restructuring their society and keeping it alive, in spite of the extremely difficult circumstances. They have set up a government and rebuilt monasteries where masters pass on their teachings to young monks. They built schools where they provide a suitable education for more than 10,000 children supported by sponsors from all over the world. These schools are rated the best in the Himalayas. In spite of the extremely precarious circumstances in exile, Tibetans have recreated their monastic institutions.
Tibetans believe that the Dalai Lama is a reincarnation of Avalokiteshvara (Ocean of Wisdom). The Potala Palace, the residence of His Holiness, the Dalai Lama is thirteen storeys high, this vast structure on the Red Hill, dominating the Tibetan capital, is now a museum, though still regarded by many Tibetans as a sacred place. The present palace was raised on the site of a much older residence in the mid-seventeen century, in the time of the great Fifth Dalai Lama, who consolidated the Tibetan theocracy and the dominance of the Gelugpa (Yellow Hat) sect.
For his part, the Dalai Lama travels around the world spreading a message of Peace and Universal Responsibility. The Dalai Lama believes that the common aim of all religions, an aim that everyone must try to find, is to foster tolerance, altruism and love. According to him, if the authentic Buddhism of Tibetan Lamas disappears from the surface of the Earth, this loss will result in an imbalance that concerns us all, and we must all accept responsibility for it.
