The 14th Dalai Lama Biography Flash a weekly Biography.
The past few days have seen the 14th Dalai Lama deeply engaged in spiritual and public life, quietly shaping Tibetan identity and global perception from his exile in Dharamsala. On November 11, he attended a long life prayer ceremony arranged by the Monpa Students Union and the Monpa youth, during which he shared heartfelt stories about his journey from Lhasa to India and expressed gratitude for the ongoing prayers and support of the Monpa community. The event included oral transmissions of cherished Buddhist mantras and a symbolic thanksgiving mandala, echoing his historical and spiritual stature, according to Tibet TV reports.
Publicly, the Dalai Lama reached out internationally, sending an official letter on November 12 to congratulate Catherine Connolly on her election as the new President of Ireland. In this message, highlighted by his official website and Tibet.net, he noted both her long public service and Ireland’s move to elect another woman to this high office, subtly reinforcing his own longstanding advocacy for equality and compassionate leadership.
His influence also permeated broader discussions on human rights and religious freedom this week. At a high-profile event in Prague, the Central Tibetan Administration’s President, Sikyong Penpa Tsering, spotlighted the Dalai Lama’s exemplary leadership while calling attention to the restrictions facing Tibetans under Chinese rule. During this event, which marked the fifth anniversary of the Inter-Parliamentary Alliance on China, a formal letter from His Holiness was presented to Czech officials, underscoring his ongoing commitment to Tibetan advocacy and international solidarity, as reported by Tibet TV and the Prague Daily News.
Culturally, the Dalai Lama has been the focus of a series of gratitude offerings and commemorative events in the run-up to the 75th anniversary of his assumption of temporal power, which he will attend on November 17 in Dharamsala with former students and the larger exile community. Ongoing coverage on his social channels and official website highlights frequent gatherings, prayer ceremonies, and public audiences involving Tibetan youth, settlement officers, and supporters spanning the globe.
On the social media front, posts tagged with #DalaiLama and #YearofCompassion continue to trend, especially surrounding his recent appearances and his 90th birthday celebrations, while news outlets such as NPR and WBUR have focused recent headlines on the shrinking population and influence of the Tibetan capital-in-exile—a narrative arc that echoes both change and resilience under his watch.
While speculation occasionally arises regarding the Dalai Lama’s health and succession, this week has seen no verifiable new developments; the focus remains on gratitude, ongoing public engagement, and sustained advocacy for Tibet.
