The Dalai Lama celebrated his 90th birthday in Dharamshala, attended by thousands including Tibetan Buddhists and international officials. He reaffirmed his identity as a simple monk focused on human values, religious harmony, and Tibetan culture. He announced plans for reincarnation with no specific gender or nationality required for his successor, alleviating concerns he might be the last in the lineage. Prime Minister Modi praised him as a symbol of love and morality, expressing wishes for his health and longevity.
The Dalai Lama described himself as 'just a simple buddhist monk' in his birthday message. He focuses on promoting human values, religious harmony, and Tibetan culture.
Earlier this week, the Dalai Lama announced that he plans to reincarnate after dying, stating he will have a successor of any gender, not necessarily of Tibetan nationality.
The Dalai Lama expressed hope that he would still live for 30-40 more years, illustrating his commitment to continue his work and mission.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi referred to the Dalai Lama as 'an enduring symbol of love, compassion, patience and moral discipline', acknowledging his impact across all faiths.
