“At the age of 16 I took responsibility for Tibet at a difficult time and in so doing I lost my freedom. At the age of 24, I lost my country and became a refugee. I have met all kinds of difficulties, but as the Tibetan says, ‘Wherever you are happy, you can call home, and whoever is kind to you is like your parents.’ I lost my country, but I’ve been happy and at home in the world at large. Living a meaningful life is not about acquiring money and other facilities; it’s about dedicating your life to helping others as much as you can.”
His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama
As His Holiness sits silently without a slight sign of his usual smile,
My heart pains in great depth.
As His Holiness gazed towards the homeland hills, as far as his eyesight can reach, My heart pains in great depth.
As His Holiness prays for the well-being of his people, who he couldn’t reach out to,
My heart pains in great depth.

Solidarity!
Thank You
👍🏽
Don’t be sad, Sonsnow. I’m sure the Dalai Lama finds peace within himself.
Thank you for the kind word.
Sonsnow, you write so well. I believe His Holiness is making the best of his life here, and certainly peacefully supporting people. I was fortunate to listen to him in Malmoe some years ago – unforgettable. ♥
Thank You Leya, yes His Holiness is having a good time at Ladakh, north India these days.
Very touching! Heartfelt!
Thank You
Such powerful words from an inspiring Leader
Thank You Tadra, while the world bowed before his wisdom and love, the Chinese leaders choose not to talk to him. Poor ccp leaders.
