Dalai Lama, Tibet's political and spiritual leader, fled Tibet in
1959. He escaped to India, where he lives now along with the rest
of the Tibetan government in exile and over 100,000 Tibetan
refugees. The Tibetans continue to resist Chinese rule peacefully
and non-violently. As Buddhists, they are devoted to the
principles of non-violence and compassion.
