The 14th Dalai Lama Biography Flash a weekly Biography.

The past few days have been eventful for the 14th Dalai Lama, underscoring his enduring influence and unwavering commitment to Tibet and the world. On September 10th, the Dalai Lama attended a major Long Life Prayer ceremony at the Main Tibetan Temple in Dharamshala. This gathering, organized by the Namgyal Institute Ithaca, Lhokha Cultural and Welfare Association, and Young Tibetans from Across the World, drew an estimated 4,000 people, with more than 1,000 young Tibetans present in person and thousands more joining online. The Tibet Post reported that, during this heartfelt event, the Dalai Lama reflected on his spiritual journey, his time in exile, and the significance of faith and reverence over violence, emphasizing his goal to benefit as many people as possible. In his address, he made the inspiring declaration that he feels destined to live for many years to come and reaffirmed his daily commitment to serving others. Remarkably, he invoked a recent vision in which he stood before the Buddha, further strengthening his devotion to his life’s work.

The Dalai Lama’s presence is not limited to spiritual activities—he remains deeply engaged in humanitarian and diplomatic gestures. According to the official Dalai Lama website and Tibet This Week, just a day before the prayer ceremony, he wrote to Himachal Pradesh’s Chief Minister expressing sorrow over the monsoon devastation and directed his trust to make a charitable donation toward relief efforts. On September 11th, he extended congratulations to C.P. Radhakrishnan, the newly elected Vice-President of India, highlighting his continued appreciation for India’s hospitality toward Tibetan refugees since 1959.

His international dimension was on display September 13th, when the Dalai Lama congratulated Sushila Karki, Nepal’s incoming Prime Minister, acknowledging historic ties between the Nepalese and Tibetan peoples, per the Dalai Lama’s official news page. Recent weeks also saw him feted in Ladakh, where tens of thousands gathered for teachings, prayers, and cultural events, showing the deep bond with the Himalayan region.

While there does not appear to be any major social media controversy or business-related move in the immediate past 24 hours, the Dalai Lama’s strengthened messaging about longevity and fidelity to the Tibetan cause have captured considerable coverage in Tibetan and Asian media. The recurring theme: he is resolute in serving humanity and promises to continue for the foreseeable future, no matter what "China claims in their narrative" as TibetTV described.
