| Buddhist Studies Deptt, BTSM JK celebrate 90th birthday of Dalai Lama | | |  Early Times Report
JAMMU, July 6: The Baba Jitto Boys Hostel (BJBH) in collaboration with the Department of Buddhist Studies and Bharat Tibet Sahyog Manch (BTSM) J&K celebrated 90th birthday of His Holiness, the Dalai Lama at Jammu University, where students, scholars and members of civil society participated.
On this occasion, Dr Vivek Sharma, President (BTSM JK & Ladakh UT) stated that Dalai lama is the spiritual leader of Tibet who encourages peace, prosperity and compassion worldwide.
He further stated that the search for the Dalai Lama is part of the institution's process. There should be no change in the search for the Dalai Lama and the appointment of the 15th Dalai Lama should be conducted under past practice. This right belongs solely to this institution, not China. BTSM J&K endorses the statement of the 14th Dalai Lama, which he spoke in this context.
He further stated that as per the tradition of Tibet, only the current Dalai Lama or to whom he appoints, can identify his successor using visions omens in consultation with senior lamas and protectors of the faith. While the Tenzin Gyatso was recognised as the 14th reincarnation at the age of two, he assumed full authority at 15 and fled Tibet four years later when Chinese troops crushed an uprising in the Tibetan capital, Lhasa in 1959. He has been living in exile in Dharamshala since then.
Dr. Rajesh highlighted the Dalai Lama's contribution to Tibet and the world. He stated, "His contributions towards ensuring the sustenance of the ethnic identity of the Tibetan people and the preservation and advancement of its religion, culture, language of the Tibetan people as well as the campaign for the just cause of Tibet, remain incredibly enormous.
Dr. Rajesh stated that the Dalai Lama often speaks about the inter-connectedness of humanity and emphasizes the imperative need for kindness and understanding to create a more peaceful world.
Among those present on this occasion were Rajinder Sadotra, General Secretary (BTSM JKUT), Dr Vikrant Singh, Dr Nitan Sharma, Mr Ramneek Singh, and others. |
