Editing Tibet: The Dalai Lama and the "Five Point Peace Plan"

=== 1959 to Present ===
The Chinese occupation of Tibet has drawn numerous allegations of [[Human Rights|human rights]] infringements against the Tibetan people. Because of strict media restrictions, the scope of the abuse is difficult to determine.

Exiled to India in 1959, Tenzin Gyatso, the 14th Dalai Lama, has worked tirelessly to bring peace and human rights to the people of Tibet. His teachings are followed by millions worldwide and are viewed by many as a modern day icon of peace and positive possibilities.

The Dalai Lama's work has raised awareness for the plight of the Tibetan people and high profile international support, notably his Five-Point Peace Plan to resolve the conflict with China, for which he won the 1989 Nobel Peace Prize. He has fostered a Buddhist revival in Tibet, with leaders now promoting the peaceful ideals of the religion in political dissidence.

Tibet's struggle for freedom from China is ongoing, however there is firm belief that the practice of the Dalia Lamas teachings will result in a brighter future for Tibet.
