Two years later he took vows as a monk , started his religious training at Drepung Monastery in Lhasa and completed it at the Madhyamika School of Buddhism . But in 1950 , after the Chinese invasion of Tibet , he was forced to go into exile in India along with the 14th Dalai Lama , Tenzin Gyatso . From 1960 onwards Lobsang Tenzin worked as a teacher in Tibetan religious schools in India , first in Simla and later in Darjeeling . Between 1965 and 1970 he was the Principal of Dalhousie Tibetan School and between 1971 and 1988 he was the Principal of Central Institute of Higher Tibetan Studies ( CIHTS ) at Varanasi ( Benares ) , and from 1988 to 2001 he was the director .

Between 1996 and 2001 he was an elected member of the Assembly representing exiled Tibetans from Kham province and also its chairman . In 2000 the Dalai Lama decided that the Tibetan people in exile should elect their own Prime Minister , and in July 2001 Lobsang Tenzin was elected with about 29,000 votes , or about 84 % of those cast , which is about 25 % of the exile Tibetan population . Juchen Thubten Namgyal , the other candidate , won the remainder .

text: The Central Tibetan Administration (CTA; Tibetan: "Bhöm Drikdzuk", , literally Exile Tibetan People's Organisation) is an organisation based in India with the stated goals of "rehabilitating Tibetan refugees and restoring freedom and happiness in Tibet". It is also referred to as the Tibetan Government in Exile, but while its internal structure is government-like, it has stated that it is "not designed to take power in Tibet"; rather, it will be dissolved "as soon as freedom is restored in Tibet" in favor of a government formed by Tibetans inside Tibet. In addition to political advocacy, it administers a network of schools and other cultural activities for Tibetans in India. On 11 February, 1991 the CTA became a founding member of the Unrepresented Nations and Peoples Organization (UNPO) at a ceremony held at the Peace Palace in The Hague, Netherlands.

text: Lobsang Sangay ("kind-hearted lion"; born September 5, 1968 in Darjeeling) is a Tibetan legal scholar and politician. He has been chief executive of the Tibetan Government-in-Exile since 8 August 2011. Following the election, at the request of the 14th Dalai Lama, the Tibetan parliament-in-exile amended the organisation's bylaws to remove the Dalai Lama's role as ceremonial head of state, making Lobsang Sangay its highest leader. In 2012, to reflect this change, Lobsang Sangay's title as chief executive was changed from "kalön tripa" ("prime minister") to "sikyong" ("ruler" or "regent").
