After
attempting to work with the Chinese government for 8 years,
the young Dalai Lama escaped from Tibet over the mountains
to India. He settled in the Tibetan community in exile in
Dharmsala. In 1989 he won the Nobel Peace Prize for his leadership
of the nonviolent struggle of Tibetans for greater freedom
in their country.
