Although the Communist Chinese occupy the mountainous country of Tibet, _their_ spiritual leader is the exiled Dalai Lama. The Dalai Lama is a Tibetan Buddhist monk who still travels widely and spreads a message of peace and compassion, even toward the Chinese government. He is able to separate people from his or her actions. Though he and the Tibetan people long to be free, he does not believe in acts of violence to overcome their oppressors. As much of the world puts pressure on the Communist Chinese government concerning the freedom of Tibet, especially since China hosted the 2008 summer Olympics, China has not relented in their oppression of Tibet. The Dalai Lama, now seventy-two, has spent most of his life in exile and may never return to his homeland. However, he remains calm and inspiring to others. Others may encourage violent overthrow of oppressors, but like Gandhi, the Dalai Lama is a model of perseverance and harmony for their troubled nation.
