The Dalai Lama

A gentle Tibetan monk who teaches the world about kindness and joy.

The Story

When he was just a little boy, wise monks came looking for a very special child.

They believed he was the new Dalai Lama, a great teacher, and they were right.

He grew up learning about kindness, peace, and how to make people smile.

When his home Tibet was in danger, he had to leave and live far away.

Today he travels the world teaching everyone — grown-ups and kids — to be gentle.
