The 14th Dalai Lama

“If we think only of ourselves, forget about other people, then our minds occupy very small area. Inside that small area, even tiny problem appears very big. But the moment you develop a sense of concern for others, you realize that, just like ourselves, they also want happiness; they also want satisfaction. When you have this sense of concern, your mind automatically widens. At this point, your own problems, even big problems, will not be so significant. The result? Big increase in peace of mind. So, if you think only of yourself, only your own happiness, the result is actually less happiness. You get more anxiety, more fear.” ― Dalai Lama XIV, The Wisdom of Forgiveness

A wise old man is not always a man who is a master at Kung Ku just like what the media shows through films.But, there is an old wise man who is filled with wisdom that he will share to the rest of the world to spread and will continue to remind everyone.

Tenzin Gyatso is the 14th Dalai Lama. He travels abroad to speak about understanding each other and respecting each others views and opinions. The Dalai Lama was award a Nobel Peace Prize  in 1989.

The Dalai Lama is a very inspirational wise old man because he is not the stereotypical "Wise Old Man" the media usually portrays by being the "Kung Fu" master but an inspirational person who brings peace and shares words of wisdom to everyone and by him travelling around the world shows how amazing he is as a person and knows the meaning of peace.

He is not the usual wise old man shown by media where they have long beards,mustaches, and are calm but have a hot headed side to them. Judging from this clip he seems to be down to earth and it is clearly seen that he is a welcoming person.
