The 14th Dalai Lama established a Tibetan government-in-exile in Dharamshala, Himachal Pradesh, India, in 1960. From there he continued to act as a spiritual leader of the Tibetan and Mongolian peoples and to assist Tibetans who had fled Tibet for India in establishing monasteries and livelihoods. Beginning in 1979 he increasingly traveled internationally to speak about Buddhism and peace. In 2011 he stepped down as head of the Tibetan government-in-exile but remained a spiritual leader.
