     I choose to do my research paper on the Dalai Lama, Tenzin Gyatso, because I
think that he is a very interesting, inspirational, and  good man.  I think that a lot of
people do not know about the problems that are going on right now in Tibet.  If more
people were aware of these problems that I am going to explain then more people could
try to persuade higher authorities to step in and try to stop the problems.  It is sad that the
most powerful country, America, cannot listen to the pleas of a man to save his country.
What this man has done alone is amazing.  In March of 1959 when he fled to India in
exile, thousands of his followers came with him.  They gave up their lives to follow this
one man.  This proves that was a country that was spiritualy dedicated.  I do not believe
in the teachings of Buddhism but I do believe that this man is an above average person.
When the Dalai Lama was only three years old he was answering questions that were far
above his level.  Maybe some day the world will help out Tibet as a whole.  Right now
our government chooses to ignore the problem and allows a honorable trade status.

     The Dalai Lama’s real name is Lhamo Thondup.  He was born on July 6, 1935.
He was born in a small village called Taktser in Amdo, Tibet.  His name in Tibet means
Roaring Tiger.  Taktser is a small and poor settlement.  The small village stands on a hill
overlooking a valley.  The pastures have not been farmed for a very long time, only
grazed by nomads because the weather there is very unpredictable.  Taktser is located in
the providence of Amdo, which is located in the far north-eastern side of Tibet.  The
Dalai Lama’s parents were small farmers.  They leased a small amount of land and grew
barley, buckwheat, and potatoes.  More often, they would lose their crop to hailstorms or
drought.  Their animals were a more reliable source of produce.  They had five or six
dzomos(a cross between a yak and a cow) for milking and a couple of chickens for eggs.
They also had around 80 goats and sheep, a few horses and a couple of yaks.  The Dalai
Lama’s parents were mostly substantial farmers but sometimes his father would trade
                                                                    Muller2
grain for different household items.  Money was not very useful in small villages.  The
Dalai Lama was born in a typical house for that area in Tibet.  It was made with stone
and mud with a flat roof.  Inside there were six rooms: a kitchen, a prayer room, his...
