Product Description His Holiness the Dalai Lama was born in Tibet in 1935. He was forced to flee the Chinese occupation of his homeland in 1959 at the age of 24. The year 2019 marks 60 years since he began a new life as a refugee in India, making his base in a small hill town called Dharamsala in northern India.
