Dalai Lama

From Wiki: The Dalai Lama is the spiritual and political leader of the Tibetan people according to Tibetan Buddhism. Often referred to simply as “His Holiness” (HH), or “His Holiness The Dalai Lama”, Tibetans usually call the Dalai Lama by the epithets Gyalwa Rinpoche, meaning “Precious Victor”, or Yishin Norbu, meaning “Wish-fulfilling Jewel.” “Lama” (meaning “teacher”) is a title given to many different ranks of Tibetan Buddhist clergy.

The Dalai Lama is believed to be the current incarnation of a long line of Tulkus, or Buddhist Masters, who have become exempt from the wheel of death and rebirth. These ascended masters have chosen of their own free will to be reborn to this plane in order to teach humanity.

The influential, exiled Tibetan spiritual leader the Dalai Lama is currently admitted in a private Indian Hospital. The 73-year-old leader was taken to hospital in Mumbai on Thursday after complaining of “abdominal discomfort,” according to his aides.
