H. H. the Dalai Lama

Pencil drawing - tinted in Photoshop - a rare shot of the Dalai Lama without his trademark glasses... View this image at a higher resolution here: http://www.deviantart.com/vi ew/7754793/ ©gforcecreative.net 2004 His Holiness the 14th the Dalai Lama Tenzin Gyatso, is the head of state and spiritual leader of the Tibetan people. He was born Lhamo Dhondrub on 6 July 1935, in a small village called Taktser in northeastern Tibet. Born to a peasant family, His Holiness was recognized at the age of two, in accordance with Tibetan tradition, as the reincarnation of his predecessor the 13th Dalai Lama, and thus an incarnation Avalokitesvara, the Buddha of Compassion.
