On Friday, the Dalai Lama attended a long-life prayer ceremony organised for him by the former staff members of Tibetan-government in-exile at Buddhist temple Tsuglagkhang.
Led by the monks of Namgyal Monastery, the prayer ceremony was attended by around 3,000 Tibetans including nuns, schools students, monks, and foreign nationals.
The spiritual leader has exiled himself in India ever since the rebellion against the Chinese rule in 1959. The Dalai Lama is known for his messages of unity and compassion.
