Didn't this guy own slaves or some shit?
I doubt it, the pla stopped all that shit in the fifties. He's old but not that old. Afaik he's spent most of his life being trotted around as a mascot for anti-chinese propaganda. I don't think he's ever had much, if any, agency.
He was born in 1935 and became Dalai Lama in 1940.
Good to know, thank you.
Tenzin was born after the fall of the Tibetan feudal system so no he didn't personally.
What? Serfdom was abolished in 1959 and he was born in 1935, and became Dalai Lama in 1940.
Plus if you believe him (no), he owned slaves multiple past lives
I mean if this is the same guy becoming Dalai Lama over and over again then he was put in his seat by Mongols and his title is direct parallel to the title Genghis Khan, since Genghis in Mongol have roughly same meaning as Dalai in Tibetan.
Yeah, that should be taken in to account.
Yeah my memory was a bit off. For some reason I thought he was born in the late 40s.
He would love it if he could tho, as do most of the lama class in exile
Yes, idk what people below say. He was born in 1935, became Dalai Lama in 1940 and serfdom was abolished ultimately and he was exiled in 1959
