About this listen
His Holiness the Dalai Lama has been quite active this past week, marking what appears to be a significant period of public engagement and international outreach. On Tuesday of this week, the Tibetan spiritual leader attended a long life prayer ceremony organized by All Membra Students Union and youth groups from Munay. During the gathering, he shared reflections on his journey from Tibet to India and expressed his gratitude to the local community. He also granted oral transmissions of mantras and received a thanksgiving mandala offered in his honor.
The Dalai Lama has been focused on international diplomacy as well. Following Catherine Connolly's swearing-in as President of Ireland, he penned a personal letter congratulating her on her election. In the correspondence, he praised her decades of public service and expressed particular enthusiasm about Ireland electing another woman president, noting that increased female leadership could foster a more compassionate and peaceful world.
Meanwhile, representatives from his administration have been actively promoting Tibetan causes across Europe. Sikyong Penpa Tsering addressed the International Religious Freedom Alliance in Prague, where he highlighted religious freedom restrictions in Tibet under Chinese rule. This address coincided with a remarkable gala evening titled "Dalai Lama 90, Havel 89," celebrating the spiritual leader's ninetieth birthday alongside the legacy of former Czech President Václav Havel. Hollywood actor Richard Gere, a longtime Tibet supporter, sent an exclusive video message thanking the Czech Republic for its solidarity with Tibetan people.
In India, the Dalai Lama has maintained his local commitments. He received devotees from Mon Tawang who offered prayers for his long life, and he granted personal audiences to Tibetan settlement officers from India and Bhutan attending the sixteenth Administrative Conference in Dharamshala. The conference brought together thirty-five settlement officers and agriculture extension representatives to discuss community welfare and cultural preservation.
Notably, the Dalai Lama is scheduled to conduct public teachings at his Main Temple on November seventeenth, continuing his regular religious instruction. Throughout this period, representatives from his office have engaged in advocacy efforts across Slovakia, Austria, and other European nations, strengthening international support for Tibetan rights and discussing his reincarnation and the geopolitical significance of the Tibetan plateau with government officials and lawmakers.
