Top 10 Famous Buddhists No 1 The Dalai Lama

Paraphrasing the Buddha slightly a jug fills drop by drop and once you’ve started something you need to go all the way. So it was with my hopefully fun series the World’s Top 10 Famous Buddhists as part of the Buddha’s Face Buddhism 101 Outreach Project that we reach the top. It is interesting that they are all Americans and with the exception of Leonard Cohen and Tina Turner all intimately connected with Hollywood. Such is our world and the influence of the Californian Dream Machine on the consciousness of the planet.

So it with great pleasure and humility to pronounce as No 1 a man who is certainly the most famous Buddhist to have lived since the Buddha walked on earth and is certainly not an American. It can come as no surprise that the No 1 position belongs to His Holiness the 14^th Dalai Lama leader of Tibetan Buddhists and spiritual leader of Tibet. In the 75 years he has been around his kindness, presence and serenity of spirit have moved millions. He strives to find a non-violent resolution to the thorny problems of our age and is a guiding light to his people.
