What I Do

I mainly do short descriptions but I am a big article creator and I am creating articles for every church in Leicestershire, now that I have finished doing every church in Rutland. See my Pages I've Created section. I'm also adding the name origin of places in Leicestershire. I sometimes fix typos and grammar mistakes if I see one. I also revert vandalism if I see it.

Pictures of the Day

Picture of the day

The 14th Dalai Lama (born 6 July 1935), also known by the spiritual name Tenzin Gyatso, is the incumbent Dalai Lama, the highest spiritual leader and head of Tibetan Buddhism. He served as the resident spiritual and temporal leader of Tibet before the 1959 Tibetan uprising against the Chinese annexation of Tibet, when he escaped from Tibet to India. Subsequently, he led the Tibetan government-in-exile, represented by the Central Tibetan Administration in Dharamshala, India. A belief central to the Tibetan Buddhist tradition, as well as the institution of the Dalai Lama, is that he is a living bodhisattva, specifically an emanation of Avalokiteśvara (in Sanskrit) or Chenrezig (in Tibetan), the Bodhisattva of Compassion. This photograph of the Dalai Lama was taken in 2012.Photograph credit: Christopher Michel
