The 14th Dalai Lama Biography Flash a weekly Biography.

In the last several days the story of the Fourteenth Dalai Lama has been unfolding not in world capitals but in the red and gold heartland of Tibetan monastic life in southern India. According to his official website, His Holiness is currently in the Tibetan settlement of Mundgod, Karnataka, where on December 14 he attended the Ganden Ngamcho celebrations at Drepung Monastery, marking the parinirvana of Je Tsongkhapa, the great reformer of the Gelug school. There, the Gelugpa Buddhist Cultural Society presented him with a commemorative award honouring the 51st anniversary of his highest monastic degree, the Geshe Lharampa, a quiet but symbolically powerful nod to his enduring role as a scholar monk even at around ninety years of age.

Travel itself has been a story. The same site reports that on December 11 he left his long‑time base in Dharamsala for Delhi, with large crowds of Tibetans and international followers lining the streets and airport to see him off, before he flew onward to Hubli and then by road into the great exile seat of Drepung Gomang Monastery. Indian outlet WION amplified this journey with video of his arrival at Drepung Gomang, underscoring that even routine movements of the exiled leader still draw media lenses and loyal crowds.

The most personally significant entry on his public schedule is set at Drepung Lachi Monastery, where his office says he will attend a Long Life Prayer offering for him by Drepung Monastery. Such ceremonies, especially when staged by one of Tibet’s great seats of learning in exile, are more than pious ritual; they are collective declarations that the community is investing spiritually and politically in the continued life and work of this Dalai Lama at a time when questions of his eventual succession dominate geopolitical coverage.

There have been no widely reported new political controversies, major public interviews, or viral social media moments linked to him in the past few days, and no credible reports of health crises or behind‑the‑scenes intrigue; anything suggesting otherwise on fringe social platforms should be treated as unconfirmed speculation unless echoed by his office or established international outlets.
