Tibetan rebel and spiritual leader the Dalai Lama is celebrating a birthday today. He is 76, but looks 50!
Call us silly, but the Dalai Lama, known for cracking jokes and watching movies in his previous life, has been down this road before, thousands of times if we are to believe Buddha’s teachings on reincarnation.
How many birthdays has the Dalai Lama celebrated, you ask? Too many to count. He, we believe, remembers only one! Imagine how crazy we’d be if we remembered all our births!
In honor of his Holiness’ milestone, we thought we’d assemble a gallery of celebrities and politicians who have turned to the scourge of China for counsel.
A celebration in honor of the Nobel Prize winner’s birth is going on it’s second day in India where the Dalai Lama has lived since China annexed Tibet in 1959.
We love you, Your Holiness! Happy Birthday!
After the break, more Lama!
