In 1989, the Dalai Lama of Tibet was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize for championing the cause of peace through non-violence.
The Dalai Lama, Tensin Gyatso, has been temporal and spiritual leader of the Tibetan people, and within the past 30 years, been forced to make him work politically.
Within his message, compassion and universal responsibility, lies the story of Tibet -- the story of a six-million person struggle to maintain one of the most ancient cultures on earth -- one steeped in Buddhist religion and distinctly unique.
