Three Main Commitments in Life
Firstly, on the level of a human being, His Holiness’ first commitment is the promotion of human values such as compassion, forgiveness, tolerance, contentment and self-discipline. All human beings are the same. We all want happiness and do not want suffering. Even people who do not believe in religion recognize the importance of these human values in making their life happier. His Holiness refers to these human values as secular ethics. He remains committed to talk about the importance of these human values and share them with everyone he meets.
Secondly, on the level of a religious practitioner, His Holiness’ second commitment is the promotion of religious harmony and understanding among the world’s major religious traditions. Despite philosophical differences, all major world religions have the same potential to create good human beings. It is therefore important for all religious traditions to respect one another and recognize the value of each other’s respective traditions. As far as one truth, one religion is concerned, this is relevant on an individual level. However, for the community at large, several truths, several religions are necessary.
Thirdly, His Holiness is a Tibetan and carries the name of the ‘Dalai Lama’. Tibetans place their trust in him. Therefore, his third commitment is to the Tibetan issue. His Holiness has a responsibility to act as the free spokesperson of the Tibetans in their struggle for justice. As far as this third commitment is concerned, it will cease to exist once a mutually beneficial solution is reached between the Tibetans and Chinese.
However, His Holiness will carry on with the first two commitments till his last breath.

The Dalai Lama is the holy spiritual leader and guru of the people of Tibet. Dalai Lamas are identified at a young age as the reincarnation of the previous Dalai Lama. Dalai Lamas are the human embodiment of the Buddha of Compassion.

You mean ... WHO is the Dalai Lama.
He is the spiritual leader of Tibetan Buddhists, if I'm not mistaken.
He's now living in exile ... in India, I believe. He's been in exile since the communist Chinese took over Tibet in the early 50s.
He had a lot of very nice things to say about Pope John Paul II, when he (the Pope) passed away. The two men met each other a few times.
