Happy Birthday, Dalai Lama!

Short bio from The Writer's Almanac:

It's the birthday of the Dalai Lama, born in Taktser, Tibet (1935). When the 13th Dalai Lama died in 1933, monks from the city of Lhasa set out to find a child who would prove to be the reincarnation of the Buddhist leader. They eventually found him in the village of Taktser, in a three-year-old boy named Lhamo

That's awesome! Yeah, everything that's going on in Tibet right now is sad.

I know. I love China, but I wish they would change their policy on Tibet and let those people be free and keep their culture alive.
