    A very moving, spiritual, and inspirational man. hide show

    The Dalai Lama. Most people think he is just 1 man. But there has been 14 Dalai Lamas. Tenzin Gyasto is a particularly special one.
    Tenzin has brought Buddhism to more people than Buddha himself could have imagined. He has shown the world the plight of his beloved country, Tibet. He has made his religion the only major one to bridge gaps with science.
    He is the travelling Dalai Lama, having visited all 6 inhabitable continents. A truly great man who allows his religion to meet issues half-way. For example, abortion. Other religions such as Christianity and Muslim condemn it yet he is willing to be neutral about it, not condoning nor condeming. On homosexuality he dosen't call it b;asphemous. Again he meets it half-way and says that a loving relationship between two men or two woman is, a loving relationship one it's not sexual.
    Overall an inspirational man and if the world was more like him, peace would be riot.
