Dharamshala, March 14 -
On behalf of all the Tibetans in and outside Tibet
and the traditional religious
sects, the special organising committee and
the retired civil servants
of the Central Tibetan Administration (CTA) made
a grand Tenshug (Long-life
prayer offerings) to His Holiness the Dalai Lama
this morning at the Tsuglakhang.
As His Holiness turned 73
this Losar (Tibetan New Year), the Tibetans across
the globe have been holding
occasional prayer gatherings and religious
ceremonies for His Holiness'
long life and well-being.
Today's ceremony began at
6 o'clock with a ritual performance led by His
Eminence the Sakya Trizin
Rinpoche, head of the Sakya tradition of Tibetan
Buddhism. The ritual is
dedicated to His Holiness for his long life.
His Holiness graced the
ceremony at around 8 o'clock following which the
long-life prayer offerings
began.
In his address at the ceremony
His Holiness urged the gathering to be
mindful and act in good
faith for the collective cause of the people of
Tibet. He said that he believes
those who are in service of our community
are working hard and would
continue to do so without fail.
For the retired staffs,
His Holiness said that they have committed
themselves for our cause
at the critical time of our people and now as they
are retired His Holiness
asked them to stay happy.
His Holiness said "his position
is that of semi-retirement.
Holiness said that he would
continue to work hard for the people of the Land
of Snow.
He said that he hopes to
live for several more decades, saying that he is
physically and mentally
healthy which are the two most important things for
long life.
The other important point,
His Holiness said "is keep the sense of
commitment among us and
to work hard for our common cause."
11 eminent lamas, including
the heads of all traditional schools of
Buddhism, graced the ceremony.
Also present at the ceremony
were dignitaries of the Central Tibetan
Administration (CTA) including
chief supreme justice commissioner and the
two justice commissioners
of the Tibetan Supreme Justice Commission, speaker
and deputy speaker of the
Tibetan Parliament-in-
and his colleagues, members
of the Standing Committee and other deputies of
the TPIE, officials of the
CTA, and representatives of the non-governmental
organisations, schools and
institutions.

the second session of the
14th TPIE. The committee consists of Mr Karma
Choephel, speaker of the
TPIE, as its chairman and Mr Tsering Dhondup,
secretary of the Department
