This from the User of the Day: Tenzin Gyatso is the fourteenth and current Dalai Lama, and as such, is often referred to in Western media simply as the Dalai Lama, ... Is this for real?

Gentlemen, I have met two Tenzin Gyatso [etc's]. Neither abused the name. Neither were the man himself. He had the birth name Lhamo Thondup. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tibetan_name Traditionally, personal names are bestowed upon a child by lamas, who often incorporate an element of their own name. In the Tibetan diaspora, Tibetans often apply to the Dalai Lama for names for their children. As a result, the exile community has an overwhelming population of boys and girls whose first name is "Tenzin", the personal first name of the 14th Dalai Lama. |
